The U.S. Supreme Court today removed from its calendar the March 1 oral argument about Title 42, which limits migrants’ ability to seek asylum amid the coronavirus pandemic, The Hill reports. The justices were set to consider 19 GOP-led states’ attempt to intervene in the case and maintain the policy, which was first implemented under former President Donald Trump. President Joe Biden’s administration last week filed a brief suggesting the case will become moot once the administration revokes the public health emergency on May 11. In April, the Biden administration moved to revoke Title 42, but the decision quickly came under legal challenges that led lower courts to reinstate the policy.
