Future Cases: Immigrant Teens and District Court

future cases: The unidentified 17-year-old girl says in a court declaration filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Washington that she has been asking for an abortion for two weeks, according to Metro News. She says she wants one as soon as possible. In three earlier cases, the judge ordered the administration to allow immigrant teens to end their pregnancies. The American Civil Liberties Union is representing the girl and also seeking an order that would apply to future cases. The ACLU describes her as an unaccompanied minor, suggesting she was detained while trying to enter the U.S. It is not known where the teen is from or where she is being held.
