Federal Judge Orders Removal of Rio Grande Floating Border Barrier

A federal judge in Texas has ruled that a floating border barrier in the Rio Grande River, ordered by Governor Greg Abbott without proper federal authorization, violates federal law and must be removed. The judge granted the Biden administration's request for a temporary injunction, giving Texas until September 15 to move the barrier to shore and prohibiting the state from placing additional buoys or structures in the river. Abbott plans to appeal the ruling, but Democrats and immigrant advocates have praised the decision. The ruling highlights the clash between political rhetoric and legal realities surrounding immigration policies.

Texas Judge Temporarily Blocks Drag Show Restrictions

A federal judge has issued a temporary injunction against Senate Bill 12 in Texas, which aimed to restrict "sexually oriented performances" and was criticized for targeting drag shows. The law, set to take effect on September 1, would have limited public drag performances and imposed fines on businesses and performers. The ACLU of Texas represented LGBTQ groups, businesses, and a performer in a lawsuit against state officials. The judge's ruling temporarily blocks the law, stating that it infringes on the First Amendment rights of performers and would have a chilling effect on free expression. Texas is one of six states that have passed similar restrictions, with some laws being blocked and ruled unconstitutional.

Federal Judge Halts Georgia's Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth

A federal judge has issued a temporary injunction blocking part of Georgia's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, specifically the provision that prohibits licensed medical professionals from providing cross-sex hormone therapy to patients under 18. The judge deemed this provision likely unconstitutional and stated that the risks of harm to plaintiffs, including depression and self-harm, outweighed any harm the state would experience from the injunction. The ban on gender transition surgery for minors was not blocked. At least 20 states have implemented restrictions on gender-affirming care for trans youth in recent years.

Federal Judge Halts Georgia Law Banning Transgender Minors' Hormone Therapy

A federal judge in Georgia has issued a temporary injunction blocking part of a state law that bans gender-affirming care, specifically hormone therapy, for transgender minors. The judge ruled that the law is likely to violate the Equal Protection Clause and that the plaintiffs, four anonymous transgender children and their parents, have shown a likelihood of succeeding in their case. The injunction allows minors to continue receiving hormone therapy while the case progresses. The law, passed by the Republican-controlled state Legislature and signed by Governor Brian Kemp, is part of a wave of bills targeting transgender care for minors in GOP-led states.

Texas Judge Temporarily Exempts Women with Complicated Pregnancies from Abortion Ban

A judge in Texas has issued a temporary injunction exempting women with complicated pregnancies from the state's abortion ban, citing a lack of clarity on the ban's medical exemptions. The ruling allows doctors to use their own medical judgment in determining when abortion care is needed for physical medical conditions that pose infection risk, make pregnancy unsafe, have a low likelihood of fetal survival, or require recurrent pervasive intervention. The Texas Attorney General's Office has filed an accelerated appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, putting the ruling on hold pending a decision. The lawsuit was brought by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of several women who were denied abortions despite grave risk to their lives.

Texas Judge Protects Women with Pregnancy Complications from Restrictive Abortion Ban

A Texas judge has granted a temporary injunction against the state's abortion ban, ruling that it is too restrictive for women with serious pregnancy complications. The injunction allows exceptions for cases where the pregnancy poses a risk of infection or is otherwise unsafe for the woman, as well as cases where the fetus has a condition that makes survival unlikely after birth. This is the first ruling to undercut Texas' abortion law since it took effect in 2022 and is seen as a potential blueprint to weaken restrictions in other Republican-led states. The trial is scheduled to begin next March, and the state is expected to seek a swift appeal.

Texas Judge Rules in Favor of Women Challenging Abortion Bans

A Texas judge has issued a temporary injunction, ruling in favor of a group of women and doctors who sued the state over medical exceptions in its abortion laws. The judge's ruling states that the lack of clarity in the state's abortion bans puts patients in danger during medically complicated pregnancies. The injunction prohibits the enforcement of the laws against healthcare professionals who provide abortions in emergency medical situations based on their "good faith judgment." The ruling also allows for abortion care in cases of pregnancies with fatal fetal anomalies. The injunction is effective immediately, and a trial date has been set for March 25, 2024.

Iowa Judge Halts Controversial Abortion Ban

A state judge in Iowa has temporarily blocked a newly signed law that would ban abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The law will remain on hold until a final decision is issued. The judge allowed Iowa's board of medicine to begin drafting guidelines on how physicians would be punished for violating the law. The law, signed by Republican Governor Kim Reynolds, prohibits most abortions after early cardiac activity can be detected in a fetus or embryo. Planned Parenthood and other advocacy groups filed a lawsuit, arguing that the law violates constitutional rights. The case is expected to be taken to the state Supreme Court.

Iowa Judge Temporarily Blocks Controversial Abortion Ban

A judge in Iowa has issued a temporary injunction blocking the state's six-week abortion ban bill, which would have effectively banned almost all abortions in the state. The legislation was signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds on Friday, but the injunction means that abortion in the state is once again legal up to 20 weeks while the challenge brought by Planned Parenthood and other organizations moves through the court system. The judge cited the need to follow current Iowa Supreme Court precedent and preserve the status quo while the litigation progresses. Governor Reynolds has vowed to fight the decision.

Iowa Judge Temporarily Halts Controversial Abortion Ban

An Iowa judge has issued a temporary injunction blocking a new state law that banned most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The law, signed by Governor Kim Reynolds, included exceptions for cases of rape, incest, foetal abnormalities, and when the mother's life is in danger. Providers argued that the law was unconstitutional, leading to the judge's decision. Governor Reynolds plans to appeal the ruling, stating that providers are trying to "thwart the will of Iowans." The legislation is similar to a previous abortion ban passed in 2018, which was blocked by the Iowa Supreme Court.

Judge Halts Tennessee Drag Ban Law Before Implementation

A federal judge has issued a temporary injunction against a new Tennessee law that restricts drag shows, siding with a group that filed a lawsuit claiming the statute violates the first amendment. The law changed the definition of adult cabaret to include "male or female impersonators" and banned adult cabaret performances from public property or anywhere minors might be present. The judge found the law to be vague and overly broad, and failed to make a compelling argument as to why it was necessary. This marks the second major proposal targeting LGBTQ+ people passed by state lawmakers in Tennessee this year.
