ACLU lawyer dismisses Title 42 as 'crutch,' claims people 'overstating' border crisis
Fox News
ACLU deputy director Lee Gelernt criticized Title 42 after the Supreme Court ruled that the policy would be kept in place before it decides on the case in February.
While several people celebrated the decision, the ACLU condemned the ruling, and Gelernt continued to criticize Title 42 as well as Republicans and others for "overstating" the situation at the border.

"From a public policy, you can’t misuse public health. It was not intended to regulate the border. I also think people are overstating what’s happening at the border. If you close the border for so long, of course, there’s going to be a temporary influx of people, but ultimately, it’ll even out, and the federal government has more than enough resources to deal with this," Gelernt said.
