Idaho Supreme Court temporarily blocks state's new 6-week abortion ban
CNN
The Idaho Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked the state's new six-week abortion ban, which mimics a controversial Texas law.
Abortion providers had said in a lawsuit filed last week that the Idaho law violates several provisions of the state constitution and asked the state Supreme Court to intervene before April 22, when the law had been set to take effect.
The court on Friday granted a motion to reconsider, and said that the "implementation of Senate Bill 1309 is stayed pending further action by this Court."

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.
