Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday sued the Biden Administration over its “illegal” airline, airport mask mandate.
Joe Biden’s federal mask mandate is set to expire March 18.
Attorney General Paxton argued that Biden’s airline mask mandate was unlawfully issued and never authorized by Congress.
“Biden’s repeated disregard of the individual liberties of Texans is not only disrespectful to the U.S. Constitution, it is also troublesome that any president thinks they can act above the law.” Paxton said.
“President Biden cannot continue governing through executive edicts. Now is the time to strike down his administration’s air-travel mask mandate. I’m proud to stand alongside my friend Congresswoman Van Duyne and her counsel at TPPF to protect Texans’ liberty and the rule of law,” he added.
