BREAKING: The Justice Department announced that it will appeal the ruling that lifted the federal mask mandate on planes, trains and transit systems, pending a decision by the Center for Disease Control that the order is still required for public health.
The Justice Department will not, however, ask the court to stay the decision, meaning passengers will be able to continue traveling maskless while the decision is litigated.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle ruled that the travel mask mandate was unlawful. The White House said the Transportation Security Administration will not enforce the rule on public transport and transportation hubs while the ruling is reviewed. "The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health," the Justice Department said in a statement. "That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve."
