President Joe Biden’s administration was ordered late on Dec. 31 to halt mask and vaccine mandates for workers and volunteers in the Head Start program in Texas.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) likely acted without congressional authorization when it imposed the mandates in response to the president’s push to increase COVID-19 vaccinations, U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, a Trump nominee, said in a 56-page ruling.
