“Since March 2020, we may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country. Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale,” wrote Neil Gorsuch, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, in a fiery condemnation of the contraction of civil liberties during the recent Covid-19 pandemic.
The issue before the Court was whether Title 42, an emergency measure to curtail immigration during the pandemic, could be continued now that the emergency has been officially declared over. “As I explained … I do not discount the States’ concerns about what is happening at the border, but the current border crisis is not a COVID crisis,” Gorsuch wrote.
