Supreme Court tosses teen abortion request in custody case
The Supreme Court dismissed the lower court ruling allowing an undocumented Central American teen in federal custody to seek an abortion. The unsigned order ends that individual claim as moot but leaves in place a broader injunction preventing the government from blocking abortion access for pregnant minors in federal immigration custody. The teen, identified as Jane Doe, had terminated before the ruling. she is now 18 and no longer in custody. The broader challenge remains active in district court in Washington.
