Federal Court Rules Cuomo’s Lockdown ‘Discriminates Against Religion,’ Tosses Capacity Limits On Churches

A federal appeals court struck down strict limits on gatherings in houses of worship in New York on Monday.

A three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit struck down the limits put in place by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, ruling that Cuomo’s lockdown “discriminates against religion on its face” by setting unfair restrictions on churches and synagogues while businesses deemed essential were allowed to operate, according to the New York Post.
