Texas has filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration over its implementation of Federal Mask Mandates on Airports.
In a statement released by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, he and the Texas Public Policy Foundation and its head legal counsel Rob Henneke, and Rep. Beth Van Duyne argued that “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) mandate was unlawfully issued. It was not authorized by Congress, and the CDC did not put the mandate up for notice and comment, which is ordinarily required for regulations like this”
The statement also added: “Yet a person’s failure to comply with the Administration’s mask mandate carries criminal penalties.”
Paxton also posted a tweet on Twitter that read: “Just filed my 22nd suit against Biden, this time regarding anti-science, virtue-signaling masks on airlines & airports. Masks on planes are not only silly, but illegal too. Proud to join @TPPF, @robhenneke, @Bethvanduyne in restraining Dems’ lawless gov’t. End the mask mandates!”

Moreover, Paxton claimed that “Biden’s repeated disregard of the individual liberties of Texans is not only disrespectful to the U.S. Constitution, it is also troublesome that any president thinks they can act above the law while hardworking Americans standby,”
“President Biden cannot continue governing through executive edicts. Now is the time to strike down his administration’s air-travel mask mandate. I’m proud to stand alongside my friend Congresswoman Van Duyne and her counsel at TPPF to protect Texans’ liberty and the rule of law.” He added in the statement.
Paxton is known after he successfully sued the Biden administration many times over its Covid-19 mandates.
He was also issued an injunction against President Biden’s plan on mandating federal workers to get Covid-19 vaccinations last December.
Meanwhile, the CDC refused to comment when asked by the reporters regarding the lawsuit.
