Family Research Council Action Lawsuit: Title 42 Order Invalidates Biden’s Airplane Mask Mandate

Family Research Council Action (FRC Action) is arguing in an ongoing lawsuit that President Joe Biden’s “authoritarian” air travel mask mandate is “no longer warranted” because of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) decision to roll back Title 42.

Title 42, first imposed by former President Donald Trump, grants a broad authority that allows federal immigration officials to quickly return border crossers and illegal aliens to their native countries. The CDC announced on April 1 that Title 42 will end on May 23, though Biden officials have admitted ending Title 42 would likely lead to a wave of border crossers and illegal aliens at the border. The policy shift could result in potentially 500,000 people arriving at the border every month, more than double the current illegal immigration levels.

Ken Blackwell, who is in the leadership of both the FRC and the America First Policy Institute, said President Joe Biden has used the pandemic to attempt to “fundamentally transform America.”

“Biden and his team of leftists have used COVID as an excuse to push all sorts of authoritarian mandates, attempting to fundamentally transform America,” Blackwell told Breitbart News exclusively. “The Mask Mandate is one such illegal overreach. We hope the courts will vindicate the rule of law by stopping this senseless and unreasonable power grab.”

FRC Action’s admonition of the CDC’s flagrant attempt to allow border crossers to flow unfettered across the nation’s border is part of a larger lawsuit against Biden and various other health and transportation agencies. Powerhouse D.C. law firm Schaerr-Jaffe filed a complaint on March 23 in the Northern District of Texas, arguing the Biden’s mask mandate for air travel violates the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because it is “arbitrary and capricious,” and not supported by science. The mandate was set to expire of March 18, but the Biden administration extended it until April 18 without providing updated, science-backed reasoning for doing so — and without the promise that it would not extend the mandate again… (Excerpt from Breitbart)
