A court has ruled that New York’s Democrat leadership can now place citizens in quarantine detention camps against their will.
The New York Supreme Court Appellate Division has overturned a decision in a lawsuit over the state’s unreasonable COVID-19 quarantine regulations in a move that could pave the way for quarantine camps in New York.
At the heart of the case is Rule 2.13 of New York’s public health law, which gives state health officials the power to order anyone who is suspected of having a communicable disease like COVID-19 to be placed in temporary housing against their will.
It allows them to issue isolation or quarantine orders without any proof of an individual being infected.
The rule also allows them to force individuals to stay in their home or go to other locations that public health authorities consider appropriate.
It gives authorities the power to hold people for as long as they wish.
The plaintiffs – who include Senator George Borrello, Congressman Mike Lawler, Assemblyman Chris Tague, and the citizens’ group Uniting NYS – had originally won their suit against the administration of Governor Kathy Hochul in 2022.
On that occasion, the rule was voided by State Supreme Court Justice
