Two years is still quite a long time btw. Interesting that a federal court would strike down a move so clearly rooted in the law.
Right now it is in limbo with a court of appeals. A district court vacated the rule, then the court of appeals put a stay on that order and hasn't completed their process, yet. That was the status as of August. So, the rule is in effect and is currently being enforced. You can find that information on the DHS website.
And again, the reason for the delay in the rule was because it wasn't actually necessary until Title 42 was ended. Title 42 prevented the need because it effectively ended asylum intakes, but with the lifting of Title 42 (something that had to happen based on our point in the pandemic) the Biden administration put this rule in place. The main thing to keep in mind is that what you are saying they should do, they have been doing. Which goes to my original question: what could the Biden administration be doing that they are not to stop the current immigration issue? What are they not enforcing? What policy levers are they ignoring?
