Frequent flyer appeals CDC mask mandate challenge to Supreme Court

Published July 6, 2021 2:32pm ET



A man who was thrown out of a Florida airport asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to freeze the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “unconstitutional” mask requirements for transportation.

Lucas Wall, a Washington, D.C., man who has been living with his mother in Florida, appealed to the court in a complaint that names the CDC, President Joe Biden, and several other federal agencies as defendants.

He asked that the court issue an emergency injunction overriding the CDC’s order.
