An Emergency Application for an Injunction Pending Appellate Review (full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday in New Yorkers for Religious Liberty v. City of New York. The petition seeks an injunction against enforcing New York City's Covid vaccine mandates for city workers against those with religious objections to the vaccine. Petitioners argue in part:
Because the City’s Mandates provide for individualized exemptions, play denominational favorites, grant the government substantial discretion, and treat religious objectors less favorably than secular (e.g., economic) objectors, the Mandates violate Applicants’ free-exercise rights.
ADF issued a press release announcing the filing of the application.
