Lifting Title 42 will cause ‘total chaos’ on the border: Greg Abbott


The lifting of the COVID-era Title 42 this week will cause “total chaos” on the southern border where cities are already overwhelmed by the massive influx of migrants anticipating the end of the health policy, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said.

A federal appeals court on Friday rejected a bid from Republican-led states to suspend a lower court’s ruling in November that will allow the program that has been used to eject thousands of migrants to expire on Wednesday.

​”If the courts do not intervene and put a halt to the removal of Title 42, it’s ​going to be total chaos,” Abbott told ABC​ News’ “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz in an interview out Sunday.

Former President Donald Trump instituted Title 42 in the early months of the pandemic to restrict immigrants who may have been infected with the coronavirus from coming into the US.
