4. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Sherman, Associated Press:
"The court's vote means that the Biden administration will not be able to wind down the Title 42 policy, which has had the effect of keeping out of the country more than 2 million people who wanted to seek asylum in the United States. The policy was first put in place during the Trump administration at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Title 42 is a public health related policy, and the policy has remained in effect since then. The Biden administration was prepared to wind down that policy pursuant to a court order that was issued in mid-November. But the Supreme Court's vote on Tuesday means that the policy will remain in effect, and it affects how people who want to seek asylum from the United States are let into the country if they are at all"

"The court said in a brief unsigned order that it will hear argument either in late February or early March, just about a small question in this case about whether Republican leaning states are able to intervene to try to defend the Title 42 policy. So at the very least, Title 42 looks like it will remain in effect into the spring and possibly longer than that."

STORYLINE:
The Supreme Court is keeping pandemic-era limits on immigration in place indefinitely, dashing hopes of immigration advocates who had been anticipating their end this week.
In a ruling Tuesday, the Supreme Court extended a temporary stay that Chief Justice John Roberts issued last week. Under the court's order, the case will be argued in February and the stay will be maintained until the justices decide the case.
The limits, often referred to as Title 42 in reference to a 1944 public health law, were put in place under then-President Donald Trump at the beginning of the pandemic. Under the restrictions, officials have expelled asylum-seekers inside the United States 2.5 million times and turned away most people who requested asylum at the border on grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Immigration advocates sued to end the policy, saying it goes against American and international obligations to people fleeing to the U.S. to escape persecution. They've also argued that the policy is outdated as coronavirus treatments improve.
The Supreme Court's decision comes as thousands of migrants have gathered on the Mexican side of the border, filling shelters and worrying advocates who are scrambling to figure out how to care for them.
The judges said the "current border crisis is not a COVID crisis."
