Judge strikes down federal moratorium on evictions; Biden administration says it will appeal
A house divided: As millions of Americans face evictions, others buy dream homes during COVID-19
At the White House, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is reviewing the ruling.
“We recognize, of course, the importance of the eviction moratorium for Americans who have fallen behind on rent during the pandemic,” she said.
Congress enacted a 120-day eviction moratorium last spring as part of the CARES Act, which provided relief for American families and workers suffering from financial hardship because of COVID. When the moratorium expired, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through the CDC, issued a broader eviction moratorium that applied to all rental properties nationwide.
