Officials in Los Angeles County are the latest who have made it clear that they are not prepared let mask mandates become a thing of the past, enacting a public health order forcing people to wear masks on public transit and transportation hubs.
United States District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a Trump-appointee, this week nixed the Biden administration’s federal mask mandate, deeming it illegal. She found that the mandate “exceeded the CDC statutory authority, improperly invoked the good cause exception to notice and comment rulemaking, and failed to adequately explain its decisions.”
“Because our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in the pursuit of desirable ends, the court declares unlawful and vacates the mask mandate,” she wrote. However, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made it clear that it is not giving up,Biden’s Department of Justice the greenlight to appeal the ruling, which ended forced masking.
“It is CDC’s continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health,” the federal agency said in a statement. Airline passengers, some not wearing face masks following the end of Covid-19 public transportation masking rules, wait to board a flight operated by SkyWest Airlines at Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California, on April 19, 2022.
