A federal judge in Florida blocked the Biden administration’s plan to release some migrants into the U.S. on “parole,” shortly before Title 42 expired at midnight last night, The Hill reports. U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell granted Florida’s request for a temporary restraining order on the parole policy, finding that the policy is not substantially different from one he struck down in March. Under the parole program, migrants are released into the United States without a court date and asked to schedule an appointment with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement within 60 days.
