A US federal court has ruled that Covid-19 measures first introduced by the Trump administration can no longer be used to expel migrant families at the US southern border, in a major victory for migrants’ rights advocates

People talk under tarps at a migrant camp near the El Chaparral border crossing with the US, in Tijuana, Mexico on August 26, 2021.

The ruling by Washington District Judge Emmet Sullivan found that Title 42 rules, under which undocumented migrants have been swiftly expelled at the US border with Mexico, does not authorise the government to deny them the opportunity to seek asylum. “President Biden should have ended this cruel and lawless policy long ago, and the court was correct to reject it today,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the Immigrants Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union , which led the legal challenge to drop the Trump-era policy, filing a lawsuit on August 2 after negotiations with the Biden administration failed.

The judge's order will come into effect on September 30, giving the government the opportunity to appeal to keep the policy in place. As it applies to families only, single adults can continue to be expelled.

4 U.S. cities have received counterfeit COVID vaccination cards from ChinaPackages with the fake cards were seized in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Memphis and Anchorage. God bless the 'Free Market'.

Unspeakably dangerous and ethically reprehensible.

Most of the 50 largest U.S. universities aren't requiring students get COVID vaccineTwenty-six public university campuses do not require vaccination; this represents approximately 55 percent of students enrolled at those schools. I have a genuine question, what's the point in getting vaccinated if the vaccine doesn't stop you getting or spreading the virus and the only 'cure' for the virus (sorry, world's deadliest virus) is self-isolation? It really doesn't make sense anymore Expel the unvaccinated ? And of course, behind those 50 largest public uni campuses are a much larger number of regional comprehensive campuses, also mostly without mandates, also where people will get sick, get disabled, and die.
