A federal judge just blocked the Biden administration from releasing illegals into the country without court notices.
DHS Secretary Mayorkas said this week that, because Title 42 is over, that they’ll be releasing illegals without these notices and that they would just find them later…or something.
But they can no longer do this, as this ruling is effective immediately:

The block is in effect tonight and will last for 2 weeks.

The Biden administration declared in court earlier today that without the release policy and other measures there could be 45,000 migrants in custody by the end of the month.
As of Wednesday, there were more than 28,000 in custody – already way over.

"this problem is largely one of Defendants’ own making through the adoption an implementation of policies that have encouraged the so-called “irregular migration” that has become fairly regular over the past 2 years," the judge countered.

This ruling is a result of a lawsuit filed by the state of Florida, so you can thank DeSantis for this victory.
Hopefully it the ruling stands on appeal, but who knows with the 11th Circuit…
