New York Judge Strikes Down State Rule Allowing Involuntary Detention In Quarantine Camps

JTN

A New York judge on Thursday voided a state rule that allowed the government to create quarantine camps and to detain healthy people within them for indeterminate periods without review.

Rule 2.13 gave the New York commissioner of public health the power to enforce quarantine regulations. Under this rule, court documents assert, “[t]he commissioner has unfettered discretion to issue a quarantine or isolation for anyone, even if there is no evidence that person is infected or a carrier of the disease. Further, the commissioner sets the terms, duration, and location of the detention, not an independent magistrate.”

The judge highlighted that the protocol marked a severe escalation from existing health measures the state took to combat the spread of COVID-19 earlier in the pandemic.

“Involuntary detention is a severe deprivation of individual liberty, far more egregious than other health safety measures, such as requiring mask wearing at certain venues,” the judge wrote, according to the Epoch Times.

Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered the initial protocols to allow the state Department of Health to enforce the measures, the outlet noted. The government argued that the detainees received protections such as the right to a review and a lawyer, but the judge noted that they did not allow citizens to challenge their initial detention. more

  1. Congressman James Comer reports that Kathy Hochul, the unelected governor and Cuomo Clone in NY, initiated a major cover-up was engaged by both the predators in inflating covid19 deaths for the purposes of lining their own pockets with covid fed monies. Rep. Comer demands a full investigation of the Cuom-Hochul fraud and theft be engaged. To date, the Hochul woman and the Joe Biden-George Soros team of shrikes enlisted the plantation mayor and bff Mayor Uncle Eric Adams to continue pushing the bs.

  2. Do I have this right? The government turns murders loose, lets anything that can crawl over the border, lets antfa and blm burn our cities, but they want to detain people because they might spread some BS disease that they’re mainly responsible for.

    It really is time to start taking the Declaration of Independence seriously and changing this government that doesn’t meet our needs. They shouldn’t be detaining any citizen for anything but serious criminal charges and that doesn’t mean trespassing in buildings paid for with taxpayer dollars.

  3. It’s either the Rule of Law, or the Law of Rules. 90% of the tyranny recently foisted on us has been Rules, including Orders, executive or otherwise. And the other 10% has been Laws which went unenforced. Your percentages may vary, but they will add up to tyranny.

    Our Republic was founded on the Rule of Law. “Our Democracy” is founded on the Law of Rules. It’s past time to dump the Rulers.
