Arizona becomes first state to sue Biden administration over COVID-19 vaccine mandates
CBSN
Washington — Arizona's attorney general filed a lawsuit Tuesday that seeks to invalidate President Biden's latest COVID-19 vaccine requirements for federal workers and large companies, becoming the first state to mount a legal challenge to the administration's newest rules.
In a 14-page complaint filed with a federal district court in Arizona, Attorney General Mark Brnovich argued Mr. Biden's new vaccine requirements unconstitutionally discriminate against U.S. citizens because undocumented immigrants apprehended by federal law enforcement are not subject to a federal vaccination requirement.
While the details of the policies are still being worked out and yet to be made public, the attorney general said they are an "egregious" violation of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.
