The justices were due to hear the case on March 1. Nixing the Republican legal action lessens the chances of keeping the policy in place.
By Andrew Chung
The policy, known as Title 42, was implemented by Trump's administration in March 2020 - early in the COVID-19 pandemic - as a measure tied to a public health emergency. Biden, a Democrat, had kept Title 42 in place after taking office in January 2021 despite fierce criticism from within his own party. Republicans have criticized Biden's border policies as weak, blaming him for the high numbers of migrants trying to cross into the United States.
The Supreme Court voted 5-4 in December to keep in place the Title 42 policy, putting on hold Sullivan's decision.
