Lawsuit Claims Biden Illegally Gave WHO Power Over Americans

A new federal lawsuit is challenging the legality of the Biden administration’s decision to hand even more power over Americans to the unelected globalists at the World Health Organization (WHO). The case was filed on Wednesday by the states of Texas and Oklahoma against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and HHS Director of Intergovernmental and External Affairs Marvin Figueroa.

The complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas alleges the defendants improperly adopted a public health rule granting sovereign powers to the WHO.

The states argue HHS unlawfully delegated the power to declare a “public health emergency” that would apply to Americans to the WHO. The challenged rule was adopted in 2017 and hands off the power to the WHO that Congress delegated to HHS to declare an emergency in the U.S. involving communicable disease. Before filing the lawsuit this week, Texas and Oklahoma petitioned the federal government in July for an administrative review and repeal of the rule. The Biden administration denied the petition, leading to the lawsuit that asks a federal judge to intervene and declare the rule invalid and unlawful.
