BREAKING: AZAG Brnovich Will Get An Injunction Against Biden Admin For Part Of Suit Challenging Vaccination "Mandates"

In a long time coming decision, U.S. District Court Judge Mike Liburdi partly granted Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich's request for an injunction against the U.S. government for its COVID-19 vaccination policies.

In the 55-page order, Judge Mike Liburdi explains why he WILL grant the injunction against the fed govt re: the Contractor Mandate but NOT against the Employee Mandate. Judge Liburdi has asked AG's to submit a proposed order by next week, and gives Biden Admin another week to object.

The issue there is that @GeneralBrnovich wants the SCOPE of the injunction to be national (like a couple of the parallel cases elsewhere). Liburdi states he intends to limit it to Arizona, so he's giving AG a chance to try to set the scope in writing.

Judge Liburdi found that he did not have jurisdiction to consider the challenge to the Employee Mandate, which seeks to make sure all U.S. govt employees get vaccinated or tested. Firm guidance from the feds has not yet come down the pike.
