Episode notes

The federal government was sued over the use of Title 42 in a federal judge. Fifteen conservative states, including Texas, are now asking the judge to reverse his ruling. The Supreme Court has removed that hearing from its calendar without saying why. It's cynical interpretation of why they're doing that is that they believe that keeping Title 42 in place will prolong chaos at the border.

President Biden promised a more humane approach to immigration when he entered office. After two years and a flurry of activity on asylum policies, the Washington Post’s Nick Miroff explains whether Biden has delivered.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
