The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s request to wipe out a federal appeals court’s ruling upholding the right of teens in immigration custody to seek abortions.
The high court said the dispute was moot because the 17-year-old at the center of the legal fight had an abortion before the case reached the justices. The Supreme Court, acting in an unsigned order and without recorded dissent, didn’t signal a view on the underlying legal issue.
