CDC mask mandate for planes, trains no longer in effect after judge rules it 'unlawful'.
A federal judge on Monday struck down the Biden Administration’s mandate that masks be worn aboard planes, trains, buses and other public transportioion, leading to immediate change in policy for air travelers and many rail customers.
A short time later, the White House said the “decision means CDC’s public transportation masking order is not in effect at this time.”Because of Monday's ruling, a Biden administration official said, "TSA will not enforce its Security Directives and Emergency Amendment requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs at this time."
Several airlines, including United, Delta, American and Alaska, issued statements saying masks are now optional.The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are two women, Ana Carolina Daza and Sarah Pope, along with the Health Freedom Defense Fund, a Wyoming nonprofit that has challenged Covid vaccine and mask mandates in other parts of the country.
"The court agreed that the CDC overstepped its statutory authority when it ordered every person who enters a travel conveyance or travel hub to wear a mask," Brant Hadaway, the attorney who introduced the lawsuit, told NBC News via text.
