62% of Americans say COVID restrictions worth the cost, TikTok faces GDPR investigation, and lawmakers decry Instagram for Kids

Arizona has become the first state to sue the Biden Administration over its new vaccine rules for businesses with more than 100 employees. The new rule from the Department of Labor says that employers must require employees to get vaccinated or receive regular testing—or face a hefty fine.

The lawsuit claims that the rules violate the Constitution’s Equal Protections clause, because undocumented immigrants will not be subject to a vaccine requirement whereas U.S. citizens will be compelled to comply.

CBS reported:

“In a nutshell: unauthorized aliens will not be subject to any vaccination requirements even when released directly into the United States (where most will remain), while roughly a hundred million U.S. citizens will be subject to unprecedented vaccination requirements,” the state told the court. “This reflects an unmistakable — and unconstitutional — brand of favoritism in favor of unauthorized aliens.”
