The Biden administration’s requirement that foreign travelers get a COVID-19 vaccine is illegal and should be blocked, according to a new lawsuit.

President Joe Biden in 2021 issued a proclamation suspending the entry of unvaccinated noncitizen nonimmigrants into the United States by air. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) then issued an order that detailed the mandate.
