A federal judge ordered the government on Monday to facilitate two more illegal immigrant girls’ efforts to obtain abortions, warning the Trump administration against interfering with the migrants’ constitutional rights.
Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered the Health and Human Services Department to transport the girls to an abortion facility, told them not to tell anyone else about the abortions, and ordered them not to retaliate against the girls for their decision.
The judge said she was acting to preserve the girls’ “constitutional right to decide whether to carry their pregnancies to term — including their right to change their minds regarding the same.â€
The ruling is the latest in an ongoing battle between immigrant-rights and abortion-rights groups on the one hand, and the Trump administration and GOP-led states on the other.
The girls, identified as Joe Roe and Jane Poe in court documents, are 17 years old.
