The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) is planning to ask the Supreme Court to block Texas’ pro-life law after a federal appeals court ruled that the law could remain in effect, per reports.
As The Washington Post reported:
“The Justice Department intends to ask the Supreme Court to vacate the Fifth Circuit’s stay of the preliminary injunction against Texas Senate Bill 8,” Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said in a brief statement Friday.
The DOJ reportedly did not specifically say when it will formally make its request to the court.
