Florida Father Suing TSA in Supreme Court
to Halt Mask Mandate Appears on Fox News

The father of a 4-year-old autistic boy suing the Transportation Security Administration in the Supreme Court to enjoin enforcement of the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” Monday night to discuss the lawsuit and an incident in late October when he and his son were denied boarding by Frontier Airlines because the boy medically can’t wear a face mask.

Michael Seklecki Sr. discussed his lawsuit, on behalf of himself and his son Michael Jr., that is now in the hands of the chief justice of the United States after the Supreme Court docketed Dec. 2 an emergency application to stop TSA from enforcing the requirement that all passengers and workers in the nation’s entire transportation workers wear a face covering.


Frequent Flyer Suing Alaska Airlines Asks Court to Overturn Banning Him for Eating Without Mask

An Alaska man suing Alaska Airlines over its discriminatory mask policy asked the U.S. District Court in Orlando, Florida, to restrain the carrier from refusing him transportation because he was eating on a recent flight without donning a mask.

Peter Menage of Palmer, Alaska, works in the remote North Slope oilfields along the Arctic Ocean in far northern Alaska. He must fly every three weeks from Anchorage to Prudhoe Bay for his job. Menage has a doctor’s note exempting him from wearing a face covering, but Alaska has refused to grant him an exception in violation of several federal laws, the motion for a temporary restraining order states.


Chief Justice Roberts to Decide if TSA May
Continue Enforcing Transportation Mask Mandate

The legality and constitutionality of the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate is now in the hands of the chief justice of the United States after the Supreme Court docketed Thursday an emergency application — from a 4-year-old Florida boy who suffers from autism and can’t medically wear a face covering — to stop the Transportation Security Administration from enforcing the requirement.

The appeal of a lower-court order denying a stay arrived in the chambers of Chief Justice John Roberts just hours after President Biden announced Thursday his administration is extending the FTMM a third time until mid-March.


4-Year-Old Autistic Boy Asks Supreme Court to
Enjoin Federal Transportation Mask Mandate

A 4-year-old Florida boy who suffers from Autism Spectrum Disorder and can’t medically wear a face covering is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block the Transportation Security Administration’s ability to enforce the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate, which President Biden plans to announce today his administration is going to extend a third time until mid-March.

In an emergency application delivered to the high court Wednesday – which should be docketed, assigned a case number, and submitted to Chief Justice John Roberts today – Michael Seklecki Jr. of Sanford, Florida, his father Michael Sr., and Lucas Wall of Washington, D.C., jointly ask the Supreme Court to stay enforcement of the mandate pending final disposition of their petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals. Michael Sr. and Wall can’t tolerate covering their face due to their anxiety disorders.
