周三，美國一名聯邦法官否決了一項全國性暫停驅逐令，稱新冠疫情救援措施超出了美國疾病控製與預防中心(The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 簡稱CDC)的權力。
CDC以公共健康為由，暫停了驅逐租戶的做法，為在疫情期間拖欠租金的數百萬租戶提供了保護。但一係列相互衝突的下級法院裁決令人們對暫緩令的合法性產生了質疑，給房東和租戶都帶來了不確定性。

周三，美國哥倫比亞特區地方法院法官Dabney
Friedrich做出裁決，這是第一個在全國範圍內擱置暫停驅逐令的裁決。司法部曾要求，任何裁決隻適用於提出此案的房屋供應者和房地產經紀人協會。
特朗普任命的Friedrich法官說，盡管應對疫情是政府政治部門的職責，但目前有關公共衛生的聯邦法律沒有賦予CDC實施暫停令的廣泛權力。
