The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida, aims to end the federal mask mandate on public transportation.
, led by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, says the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention and other federal agencies have made “unprecedented assertion[s] of power” during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
“President Biden’s shortsighted, heavy-handed and unlawful travel policies are frustrating travelers and causing chaos on public transportation,” Moody. “It’s long past time to alleviate some of the pressure on travelers and those working in the travel industry by immediately ending Biden’s unlawful public transportation mandates.”
Arguing that government agencies such as the CDC have shown “outright disdain for the limits on its power,” the lawsuit asks for an end to the mask mandate and to its enforcement. The CDC, the federal Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration are named as defendants. The heads of each agency also are named as defendants.
Along with Ohio and Florida, plaintiffs in the suit include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia.
