An Illinois 'oasis' opens a window onto America in a post-Roe v. Wade era
CNN
On a winding road just off Interstate 64 in southern Illinois, past a Holiday Inn, an antiques mall and a TGI Fridays, the squat brick Planned Parenthood clinic is a window onto a post-Roe v. Wade America. Thousands are expected to travel there if Roe is struck down.
The clinic's call center -- less than 20 miles from Missouri's lone abortion provider -- has been abuzz since a draft opinion leaked earlier this month suggested that the US Supreme Court could soon strike down the landmark 1973 decision guaranteeing a constitutional right to abortion.

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing most of his executive order on elections against the vote-by-mail states Washington and Oregon, in the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote and to require that all ballots be received by Election Day.

A Border Patrol agent shot two people in Portland, Oregon, during a traffic stop after authorities said they were associated with a Venezuelan gang, another incident in a string of confrontations with federal authorities that have left Americans frustrated with immigration enforcement during the Trump administration.
