Federal judge: “The Court declares unlawful and vacates the Mask Mandate” for planes and trains

“The Court declares unlawful and vacates the Mask Mandate” reads the latest order from U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle. 

A federal judge has concluded that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) travel mandate exceeded their statutory authority. The conclusion by the United States District Court Middle District of Florida Tampa Division states that the CDC “improperly invoked the good cause exemption to notice and comment rule making, and failed to adequately explain its decision.”

Because “our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends,” The Court declares unlawful and vacates the Mask Mandate. states the order. 

…The Order invalidates the TSA’s mask mandate country-wide beginning immediately.
