The CDC has renewed the travel mask mandate several times, most recently extending it through May 3.
A federal judge on Monday struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s rule that all travelers must wear masks on airplanes, buses, trains and other modes of public transportation, calling it “unlawful.”
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. Biden administration lawyers, meanwhile, argued that Congress provided broad authority to take reasonable public health measures to prevent the spread of disease. They said the mask mandate was a conventional sanitation measure within the CDC’s authority.
