On March 20, 2022, Louisiana District Judge Robert Summerhays, a Donald Trump appointee, applied an injunction on the lifting of Title 42, a rule both the Trump/Pence and Biden/Harris Administrations had utilized to turn back asylum seekers during the COVID 19 Pandemic.
While the Biden/Harris Administration has filed an appeal to overrule Judge Summerhays decision, the injunction is likely to stay in place until a lawsuit cosigned by 24 states (Arizona included) is tried in court.
Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, who has consistently advocated for the lifting of Title 42, telling NPR in April that keeping the Trumpist policy in place had “created a bottleneck on our southern border,” issued a press release today (May 21, 2022) denouncing Judge Summerhay’s decision, commenting:
“Yesterday’s decision is forcing the country to stick its head in the sand. When Title 42 ends, Congress is still going to be left holding the bag. And Republicans’ hands off approach has just made this problem worse. It is time for Congress to do its job and fix our broken immigration system.”
Mayor Romero, who had earlier this month told Mother Jones that Tucson, after preparation consultations with the Biden/Harris Administration, was ready for any migrations from the border resulting from the lifting of Title 42, is right to point out that this policy can not stay in place forever.
Furthermore, those 24 states whose leaders brought the lawsuit to keep the Title 42 policy can not have it both ways, claiming this Trump directive has to remain to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus while mostly adopting domestic policies restricting COVID 19 mask and vaccine requirements.
It is time for these fringe elements in the former Party of Lincoln to stop using a public health emergency as a pretext (pretense) to further their white nationalist, xenophobic, and anti-immigration ambitions.
It is time for comprehensive immigration reform.
Aren’t you late for the GOP cocaine orgy, John Kavanagh?

The more you troll the more I post and soon anyone searching your name online will also see a link to RAICES.
RAICES provides free or low cost legal help to immigrants so they can live the American dream of living next door to John Kavanagh.
Please donate in honor of Arizona Rep John Kavanagh because he’s a messy bitch who lives for drama.
These “fringe elements” who want to keep Title 42 in place include Sen. Mark Kelly and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. Democrat voters should not vote for either in August or November but instead should write-in in Romero. The Democrat party does not need Trumpist candidates.
Hi John.
On the surface, your point has validity. When you dig deeper, the people you mentioned will support the lifting of Title 42 if there is, in their minds, a proper transition plan in place to deal with any surge that results from the lifting. Take care.
Which means they support an indefinite extension. Be safe.
Not necessarily.
Another failed attempt at owning the libs! Better luck next time Johnny!
Maybe if you send a few dollars to RAICESTEXAS dot org it would help you feel less emasculated.
RAICES provides free or low cost legal help to immigrants, as you know.
When I send them money I always donate in honor of Arizona Rep John Kavanagh because I know comforts you knowing those brown people you worry about so much are getting help with becoming our new neighbors!
Good morning, Rep. JK,
I realize that you are being sarcastic, but there is kind of an interesting point here.
Someone (can’t remember who) was talking about this on the TV yesterday and I completely agree. When Joe Biden took office in January 2021, his first order of business should have been to eradicate every one of Trump’s policies. Do you remember when Trump did exactly that in the first weeks of his failed presidency, threw out all of Obama’s executive orders, etc…and made a big deal of it? And with no regard for the consequences. Remember what the Trump Administration tried to do to DACA?
As it turns out, Joe should have done what Trump did because most, if not all, of what Trump left behind deserves eradication and, in some case, replacement.
Kelly and Hobbs are trying to get elected this year and they’re trying to walk a difficult middle line here in Arizona. Everyone knows that being too liberal doesn’t work for Democrats in statewide elections.
If you want to criticize Democratic politicians and the Democrats who elected them, why not choose Mitch McConnell’s soulmate Kyrsten Sinema? Unless you want to know where to buy ugly dresses and colored wigs, she is as useless as tits on a boar hog. Oh, wait, she knows a lot about fundraising (at least for herself).
My new go to phrase for expressing how useless someone is will be “as useless as tits on a boar hog”.
This is the kind of down home common sense talk I come here for.
Thank you, Liza.
Ditto on Biden 86’ing 45’s policies. His China tariffs started the inflation fun we’re having, his NAFTA replacement, the USYMCA (I’m 100% sure that’s what it was called) locked Canadian baby formula makers out of the US market.
He was anti-free trade, which is odd for a “conservative” and we’re paying for it now.
I suspect Biden is doing what the dems did in 2010 when they all ran away from the ACA. Back then dems didn’t want to rile up the TeaTards, and today, Biden and others don’t want to rile up the MAGAts.
Fox News Alert – Too late, the MAGAts are already riled up.
Off topic, does T4ump know those Village People songs he likes to “dance” to at his rallies are about G@y men having the G@y relations?
Good for him for being woke if so.
One thing I miss about the South is the colorful language. But occasionally I revert back.
Trump also went after the legacy of Michelle Obama, her healthy school lunch standards and her “Let Girls Learn” initiative. There was absolutely no reason for this other than his seething hatred for the Obamas, part of his futile attempt to erase them.
The cruelty was the point, as they say.
