The Department of Homeland Security authorized the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to start enforcement of President Joe Biden’s mask mandate for U.S. travelers.

“TSA will fully comply with the President’s Executive Orders, CDC guidance, and the DHS National Emergency determination to ensure healthy and secure travel across all transportation sectors. This will help prevent further spread of COVID-19 and encourage a unified government response,” Darby LaJoye, acting TSA administrator, said in a statement.
