Court Upholds Texas' Right to Maintain Razor Wire Border Barrier

A federal appeals court has ruled that the federal government cannot destroy the razor wire fence Texas installed along the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, reversing a lower court's decision. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton praised the ruling as a victory for state rights, while activists criticized it as inhumane. The decision comes amid discussions between Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on border security and drug trafficking, with Sheinbaum assuring Trump that Mexico is managing migrant flows.

"Federal Appeals Panel Rules on Emergency Abortion Care Under 1986 Law in Texas Case"

A federal appeals court ruled that the Biden administration cannot enforce a 1986 emergency care law to mandate Texas hospitals to provide abortions when a woman's life is at risk due to pregnancy. This decision is part of ongoing legal battles following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision to end federal abortion rights. The court's ruling aligns with Texas law and the opinion of anti-abortion groups, emphasizing that the 1986 law requires hospitals to stabilize both the pregnant woman and the fetus, not to provide an "unqualified right" for an abortion.

Federal Court Upholds Texas Ban on Certain Emergency Abortions

A federal appeals court ruled that the Biden administration cannot enforce a 1986 emergency care law to mandate Texas hospitals to perform abortions when a woman's life is at risk due to pregnancy. This decision is part of ongoing legal battles following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision to end federal abortion rights. The court's opinion stated that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires hospitals to stabilize both the pregnant woman and the fetus, not to provide an unqualified right to abortion. The ruling contrasts with the 9th Circuit's decision in an Idaho case, which is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Court Halts Biden's Effort to Safeguard Texas Abortion Rights"

A federal appeals court has ruled that the Biden administration cannot enforce a Department of Health and Human Services guidance that sought to protect abortion services in emergency medical situations in Texas. The guidance was issued in response to the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade and was meant to ensure that medical providers could offer abortions when necessary to stabilize a patient's emergency medical condition under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Texas challenged the guidance, and the court's decision, led by Trump-appointed Judge Kurt Engelhardt, stated that EMTALA does not specifically mandate abortion as a treatment, thus siding with Texas and blocking the enforcement of the federal guidance.
