The Texas attorney general sued the Biden administration today over a government mask mandate requiring that masks be worn in airports, on airplaines and on other modes of transit.
Texas attorney general Ken Paxton and congresswoman Beth Van Duyne filed a lawsuit jointly challenging the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention transit mask rules, which have been in place since February 2021 and are set to expire on 18 March.
“Masks on planes are unnecessary,” Van Duyne tweeted, while Paxton tweeted that “masks on planes are not only silly, but illegal too.”
