SUPREME COURT KEEPS HATEFUL TRUMP-ERA IMMIGRATION POLICY IN PLACE

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (December 27, 2022) — Today, the Supreme Court ruled that a xenophobic Trump-era policy allowing the U.S. government to expel asylum seekers from the country without due process must remain in place for now. Take Back the Court released the following statement on behalf of its executive director, Sarah Lipton-Lubet, in response:

“Every day the Title 42 policy remains in place means more pain and anguish for families seeking safe haven in the U.S. There is no low to which these cruel justices will not stoop. If we want a judiciary that truly respects people’s human rights and dignity, we have to expand the Supreme Court.”

Take Back the Court raises awareness about the urgent need to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court to address the theft of the court by Senator Mitch McConnell during the Obama Administration. Without adding seats, Congress will not be able to restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, or pass new legislation. Court expansion, which can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment, is the only reform that enables the un-rigging of the system and the restoration of democracy.
