WASHINGTON — The Biden administration told a Washington federal court Wednesday that it will appeal a ruling that struck down pandemic-related asylum restrictions known as Title 42.
The government, in a move that underscores the complicated legal and political currents of U.S.-Mexico border policy, also said it will seek to delay that appeal while a separate lawsuit over the so-called Title 42 policy plays out.
But the Justice Department does not appear to be asking to pause the ruling that directed the government to end the Title 42 policy by Dec. 21.
