United States District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich vacated a nationwide freeze on evictions implemented by federal health officials in response to the Covid-19 pandemic which left many citizens without the ability to pay their rent.

Days after President Biden’s inauguration, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention extended the revocation freeze until the end of June.

The Hill reports:

The ruling was a win for a coalition of property owners and realtors, who brought one of several challenges against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) eviction moratorium, which was put in place under former President Trump and later extended through June.
