We're still fighting the Trump administration's no-abortion policy for young immigrants in federal custody. Yesterday, two big rulings came out — from SCOTUS and the DC Court of Appeals. #JusticeforJane

We understand that's confusing, so we're going to break it down. Thread ↓

Yesterday, the Supreme Court:

✓ Vacated a decision that applied to one woman, who already got an abortion, without addressing the Trump administration's no-abortion policy overall.

✓ Rejected the administration's claim that our lawyers acted unethically by helping our client.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to discipline our lawyers for helping Jane get the abortion that she had a constitutional right to obtain.

SCOTUS refused. #JusticeforJane slate.com/news-and-polit…

Jane Doe already got her abortion — so while SCOTUS did scrap the decision that allowed her to do so, it didn't change the fact that we have another court order blocking the Trump administration from applying its no-abortion policy against any other Janes in federal custody.

Meanwhile, at the DC Court of Appeals, the Trump administration had asked that their no-abortion policy to go back into effect while we're fighting them in court.

The court denied that request last night, so all young immigrants in detention continue to have access to abortion.

Let's be clear about the Trump administration and #JusticeforJane:

✖ If they could block ALL of our access to abortion like they have Jane Does, they would
✖ Their baseless ethics claims are an attempt to intimidate our lawyers
✖ We will do everything we can to stop them
