BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments in Arizona v. Mayorkas have been VACATED

The U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments in Arizona v. Mayorkas, regarding Title 42 and border policy, have been VACATED. The Court was to hear arguments on March 1.



Last week, the DOJ told the court, in a sxn titled "Further Developments", that the Biden Admin's intent to allow the public health emergency to expire on May 11 WOULD MOOT the case. Noone specifically asked the Supreme Court to REMOVE the case from the March 1 calendar, but the Justices quietly made that decision today.

Arizona is the named party in this case because the previous AG, Mark Brnovich, led states in trying to intervene to appeal the decision in a privately-brought case. 

AZ/other states brought their effort to intervene to the Supreme Court in December.
