Meanwhile, EOIR just announced they're shutting down an immigration court in Batavia, NY — on Friday.
It was one of the agency's satellite courtrooms, attached to DHS's Buffalo (really Batavia) 'processing center', where several hundred ICE detainees are held on any given day.

Restoring access to the abortion pill was the right decision from the Supreme Court. Mifepristone was approved by the FDA over 25 years ago and is safe and effective.
As this case proceeds, we must continue to fight back against Republican efforts to try to ban abortion nationwide.

I am encouraged by the Court’s stay, but the fight to maintain easy access to medication abortion that's safer than Tylenol isn't over. The Fifth Circuit’s attempt to ignore decades of scientific data was a dangerous overreach. We must ensure these extreme restrictions are rejected permanently.
