The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on May 31 asked a federal appeals court to overturn a prior ruling by a U.S. District Court judge that found mask mandates for planes and other public transports unlawful.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) mask mandate “falls easily within the CDC’s statutory authority,” DOJ lawyers said in the filing, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.
