    Appeals court to review judge’s order allowing abortion for undocumented immigrant

    By Maria Sacchetti and Ann E. Marimow October 19 at 6:26 PM

    A young undocumented immigrant’s legal battle to end her pregnancy will move to a federal appeals court Friday, with lawyers for the Trump administration arguing that the government is not obligated to facilitate an abortion for someone in the country illegally.

    Government lawyers are seeking to halt a judge’s ruling Wednesday that ordered officials to allow the teen, who is being held in Texas after crossing the border illegally, to have the abortion this week “without delay.”
