Yesterday, Kansas Attorney General, Derek Schmidt filed to intervene in Federal District Court to prevent the termination of the Title 42 Immigration Policy that has slowed the flow of individuals seeking illegal entry into the United States.
Schmidt joined 14 other state attorneys general in asking the U. S.District Court for the District of Columbia for permission to intervene in a case in which a federal judge earlier this month ruled the use of Title 42 unconstitutional and ordered the administration to terminate its use.
Title 42 is one of the last remaining tools helping to control the southern border. Schmidt says without intervention, Title 42 will cease to exist on December 21st, dramatically worsening the border crisis on the verge of the Christmas holiday. The title 42 policy was put in place in March 2020 and has been used by the Trump and Biden Administrations to turn away thousands of migrants to try to keep communicable diseases out of the United States.
