Breaking: Judge Blocks Biden Vaccine Mandate for Federal Workers

A federal judge in Texas on Friday halted enforcement of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for federal workers.

The preliminary injunction comes months after the White House announced that 95 percent of federal workers had already complied with the mandate.

The mandate was handed down in September. More than 3.5 million federal workers were required to get vaccinated by November 22 — without the option to test-out of the vaccine requirement. Workers could only be exempted from the mandate if they had applicable religious or medical exemptions.

"We are confident in our legal authority," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday in response to the ruling.
