On January 22, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the suspension of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for legal immigrants. This decision follows a growing call from various individuals and groups advocating for the end of the mandate, citing the need for change as the pandemic evolves. Representative Thomas Massie confirmed that he had proposed a bill to end the mandate, but noted that the administration's action effectively nullifies the need for further legislative action. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has also rescinded the mandate, which has been met with approval from many, including those who have been affected by the policy over the past few years.
