The state of Arizona has sued the Biden-Harris Administration over the “egregious” coronavirus vaccine mandate, which Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich argues violates the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause by discriminating against U.S. citizens as illegal immigrants in federal law enforcement’s custody are not subordinate to the same vaccine mandates.

“In a nutshell: unauthorized aliens will not be subject to any vaccination requirements even when released directly into the United States… while roughly a hundred million U.S. citizens will be subject to unprecedented vaccination requirements,” Brnovich told a federal district court in Arizona in a 14-page filed complaint. “This reflects an unmistakable — and unconstitutional — brand of favoritism in favor of unauthorized aliens.”

The complaint continues:
Specifically, the Biden Administration has disclaimed any COVID-19 vaccination requirement for unauthorized aliens, even those being released directly into the United States. Although the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) offers vaccination to aliens it apprehends unlawfully entering the United States, it does not insist that they be vaccinated—even if they are being released into the U.S., rather than being immediately deported.
