The US Federal Government is extremely limited in its ability to impose lockdowns or other NPIs on the states, much in the same way that in 2020, Trump could not force them to be open. The US system of government grants these rights to the individual states, most of which have removed the restrictions and/or delegated the decisions to cities and counties.
The limited amount of restrictions imposed by the Fed are already being challenged and overturned in courts.
