Arizona, Louisiana and Missouri have sued President Joe Biden’s administration to prevent federal officials from ending a public health rule that allows many asylum seekers to be turned away at the southern U.S. border.

Nonprofit groups that work with asylum seekers are arguing for an end to the rule, which they say endangers people who are fleeing violence back home.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus said Monday that “we will likely face an increase in encounters above the current high levels" once Title 42 is lifted. Magnus said CBP will also expand coordination with faith-based and other nonprofit groups working with asylum seekers on the border to help with short-term care and transportation.
