Federal judge leaves US evictions moratorium in place
Al Jazeera
The judge believes the moratorium is illegal but argued her ‘hands are tied’ by a previous ruling by a higher court.
A federal judge is refusing landlords’ request to put the Biden administration’s new eviction moratorium on hold, though she made clear she thinks it is illegal. US District Judge Dabney Friedrich on Friday said her “hands are tied” by an appellate ruling the last time courts considered the evictions moratorium earlier this year. Alabama landlords who are challenging the moratorium are likely to appeal.More Related News
