The Supreme Court has ruled that it is not necessary to intervene in the dispute regarding a school vaccination mandate in San Diego (California).
Jane Doe, an unidentified female student in California’s school district, had requested emergency relief from COVID-19 vaccine mandate on religious freedom grounds.
In an unsigned ruling Friday, the high court denied Friday’s request for an immediate injunction. This was despite the fact that the school district had stated it would not enforce this requirement until August.
Last September, the mandate was implemented for students aged 16 or older by teachers, staff, and staff. Officials delayed implementation of the mandate, which was meant to take effect in January.
According to the court order, those opposed to the mandate may return for a new injunction “if necessary”.
Friday’s court hearing was open to the Biden administration’s appeal to end the “Remain-in Mexico” policy. This is a crucial Trump-era border policy, which the Biden administration had abolished but was forced to reinstate under court order.
The appeal’s oral arguments will start in April. A ruling on whether the Biden administration can stop the policy that sees migrants being sent back to Mexico for immigration hearings, instead of being released into U.S. internal will be expected in June.
