ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB) - An Alexandria-based federal judge will take a lawsuit filed by three states, including Louisiana, against the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors under advisement. His decision, once made, could mean the granting of a preliminary injunction that would temporarily halt that portion of the mandate from going into effect.
On Nov. 4, 2021, the states of Louisiana, Indiana and Mississippi filed a federal civil lawsuit against the Biden Administration and its vaccine mandate for federal contractors. That case was assigned to the U.S. District Court for the Western District in Alexandria. On Monday, Dec. 6, 2021, oral arguments were scheduled before Judge Dee Drell.
Louisiana’s Solicitor General, Liz Murrill, argued the case on behalf of the three states. In her argument to the court, Murrill said that the vaccine mandate is “affecting millions of people, certainly thousands in Louisiana.” She also warned of “enormous economic impact” if allowed to take effect.
Murrill called two employees with the University of Louisiana system to explain the burden the mandate has created. The first witness, Megan Breaux, director of operational review and EEO for UL Lafayette, told the court under her role she works “99% remote” and closely with federal contractors.
