In Arizona et al. v. Alejandro Mayorkas et al., the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to keep the federal government’s Title 42 policy in place while legal challenges continue. By a vote of 5-4, the justices stayed a lower court decision that would have lifted the policy on December 21, 2022. The Court treated the application for stay as a writ of certiorari and agreed to consider whether nineteen Republican-led states should be allowed to intervene in the suit to defend Title 42.
