Arizona attorney general asks for restraining order to block federal vaccine mandate

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) filed an amended lawsuit against the Biden administration Friday, seeking a temporary restraining order and nationwide preliminary injunction to block the White House's new vaccine requirements.

Brnovich was the first GOP official in the country to file a lawsuit against the mandates last month just after Biden announced them. His amended complaint adds new claims to address the rules in place for federal employees and contractors, as well as expected rules for private businesses.

Brnovich, who is running for Senate in 2022 against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, is one of many Republicans who have opposed the administration over vaccine rules in recent weeks, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and a host of congressional Republicans.

Brnovich accused the White House of abridging personal freedoms and of overreach. His lawsuit also alleges that the mandates violate individuals' statutory right to refuse vaccines available under Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration, because he claims Pfizer's approved version of the vaccine is not being distributed.
