A federal judge issued a restraining order Wednesday that temporarily blocks the Biden administration from ending a Trump-era policy that expedited the removal of immigrants at the border due to the pandemic.

The temporary order halts the White House from gradually ending the Title 42 policy just two days after U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays announced he would implement such a measure. A hearing to decide whether the Biden administration can repeal Title 42 forthright is set for May 13.
