#shorts On 12/19/2022, Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the agents and officials in El Paso, Texas, becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the surge in migrations and the lack of resources to assist them. Jean-Pierre answered by saying the Biden administration is in “constant communication” with the mayor of El Paso and is working to increase resources and funding at the border.
Heinrich asked KJP, “A little bit to Ed’s question, though: You know, this push from the podium to get Republicans to send more resources to the border — a lot of them say that, you know, they hesitate to throw more money at a problem when the Homeland Security Secretary is saying that the border is secure. And some of the people who would have to vote on that bill also don’t have a lot of details on, you know, what’s in it and where that money goes. But that — all that aside, you know, if you’re saying that Republicans aren’t doing the work to get this done, and then you have someone like Joe Manchin saying, well, the President has the ability to ask for an extension; he should be asking for an extension because we’re at this point where you’ve got a deadline and a crisis — is that within the President’s authority to do that?
KJP: So, look, we remain — we’re — we remain under a court order to lift Title 42. That is a court order.
Heinrich: Aren’t you guys driving it though?
KJP: That is — that is a court order that is telling us to lift Title 42. And we’re going to comply because we follow the rule of law. That is —
Heinrich: But the administration sought to lift it.
KJP: That is — but it is a court order. That is —
Heinrich: Started by you guys.
KJP: It was a court order that has been provided to us, and so now we have to comply. And that is — we have to comply by December 21st. It is — it is a law that has been —
Heinrich: So you’re saying you don’t support lifting Title 42? Or —
KJP: What I’m saying is that — I — what I’m saying — that it is a court order that has been presented to us that we are going to comply with. So you’ve asked a couple of questions, and I’m going to answer them if you give me a second.
