A federal judge in Missouri issued a preliminary injunction Monday blocking Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors in 10 states.
U.S. Magistrate Judge David Noce said the mandate extended beyond Biden’s authority to set workplace rules, Just the News reports.
An additional block was placed on the mandate by a federal judge in Georgia earlier this month.
“The vaccine mandate would reach beyond the workplace and into the realm of public health. The Court concludes that plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the issue of whether the mandate exceeds the scope of the power granted to the President,” Noce wrote.
The most recent injunction applies to Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.
