Emergency application
Religious vaccine exemptions
We The Patriots USA, Inc. v. Ventura Unified School District
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on October 17, 2025, so nothing changes while the case continues in the lower courts.
Emergency rulings are temporary and do not decide the underlying case.
What's being asked
We The Patriots USA and Jane Doe ask the Supreme Court for an emergency injunction (an order requiring officials to act). Jane Doe says her faith prevents her from accepting vaccines California requires for school attendance. She says the vaccines were tested or developed using cells from aborted fetuses. She says California officials excluded her son from school because she rejected the vaccines. They seek an emergency order that would let her son return to school.
What the Court did
The Court refused emergency help and denied (turned down) the request for an injunction. It did not decide who ultimately wins the dispute, and the Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
This temporary ruling does not decide who ultimately wins the case. The application says her case remains paused while the Ninth Circuit resolves similar cases. The docket lists no related case on the main legal questions and no argument date.
