Biden Justice Department expected to file suit against Texas over restrictive abortion law: Source
ABC News
The law is the most restrictive in the country.
The Justice Department is expected to file suit against the state of Texas in the coming days challenging its restrictive law against abortions, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News Wednesday. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement Monday that the DOJ was "urgently" exploring all options to potentially challenge the Texas law in court, and a source familiar confirmed such a lawsuit could come as soon as Thursday. It's not immediately clear under what grounds the federal government would seek to block the law's implementation, though The Wall Street Journal -- which first reported the news -- said it is expected to "pursue an argument that the Texas law illegally interferes with federal interests." A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment to ABC News on the matter.More Related News
