Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) announced his office has won another victory against President Joe Biden’s (D) vaccine mandates. On Saturday, a federal court granted Alabama’s motion for an injunction against Biden’s order that seeks to require Head Start program employees and volunteers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The mandate requires children as young as two-years-old wear face masks nearly the entire time they are at preschool.

“Once again the federal executive branch has overstepped its legal authority to make laws and once again a federal court has agreed with the State of Alabama that such overreach is unconstitutional and should be stopped,” said Marshall. “In a rare New Year’s Day order, the Western District Court of Louisiana enjoined the Biden administration from enforcing its vaccine mandate for Head Start workers and its mask mandate for toddlers. The order affects 24 states, including Alabama, which brought suit against the mandate. This victory will help ensure that numerous Head Start programs will continue to operate rather than have to fire teachers and cut back services to children. And this win will forestall the nonsensical and damaging practice of forcing masks on two-year-olds.”

Judge Terry Doughty noted that the Biden administration’s unilateral attempt to impose this latest vaccine mandate, without any legislative approval, was more fitting a monarch than a president.
