The Biden administration said Tuesday it will comply with an order from a federal judge in Louisiana temporarily blocking the end of a public health authority known as Title 42 on the US-Mexico border.
"If, and when, the court actually issues the (temporary restraining order), the department is planning to comply with that order," a senior administration official told reporters Tuesday, adding that the administration intends to increase deportations along the US southern border when Title 42 lifts.
According to the official, US Customs and Border Protection is planning to expand the use of expedited removal for migrants under immigration law, but a temporary restraining order blocking the termination of Title 42 "would restrict DHS' operation at the border" and disrupt efforts to stem the flow of migration once the authority expires.
