A federal judge on April 25 is set to block President Joe Bidenโ€™s administration from ending an emergency order that has been helping officials control the U.S.โ€“Mexico border.

U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays, a Trump appointee, told parties during a closed status conference that he intends to grant a motion for a temporary restraining order, according to minutes of the meeting released by the court.

โ€œThe parties will confer regarding the specific terms to be contained in the temporary restraining order and attempt to reach agreement,โ€ the court reporter said.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, a Republican and one of the plaintiffs, celebrated the judgeโ€™s ruling.

โ€œJoe Bidenโ€™s reckless decision to rescind Title 42 would have flooded our already stressed southern border with illegal immigrants,โ€ Landry told The Epoch Times in a statement. โ€œFortunately, today a judge has granted our request to halt this enormous threat to our national security.โ€

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican and another plaintiff, called the ruling a โ€œbig win!โ€

Arizona, Louisiana, and Missouri on April 4 lodged a complaint against the government over its announced ending of Title 42, an emergency order that enables immigration agents to quickly expel illegal immigrants because of concerns the immigrants have COVID-19.

The order has been in place since early 2020 but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with support from the Department of Homeland Security and the White House, announced in early April that it would terminate the order in May.

Seventeen states later joined the suit, while Texas filed a separate complaint.

In a motion for a temporary restraining order, the attorneys general noted how U.S. government officials and the Border Patrol union say the administration is already scaling back its use of Title 42 and told the court that entering the order would force the administration to keep the powers in place while the case is being decided.
