The Hill   Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday unveiled legislation to remove Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies, a bill that has quickly gained the support of major anti-abortion groups. The legislation is an ambitious undertaking given the drug’s widespread use in the United States, where an estimated 7.5 million women have used it to terminate pregnancies since the FDA approved its use in 2000. It accounted for 63 percent of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023.

CBS News   The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to clear the way for it to end temporary deportation protections for more than 350,000 Haitian immigrants. The bid for emergency relief from the Justice Department is the latest arising out of the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to end Temporary Protected Status for a host of countries, putting immigrants from those places at risk of deportation. The Supreme Court has so far allowed the Trump administration to roll back protections for Venezuelan migrants, and a request involving Syrian immigrants is awaiting action from the high court. Haitians were first granted Temporary Protected Status in 2010 because of “extraordinary and temporary conditions” following a catastrophic earthquake that left more than 300,000 people dead and devastated the country.

NewsNation   U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly been relocated to heavily guarded quarters on a military base in the Washington, D.C. area after receiving threats from drug cartels and individuals upset over her handling of the files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The New York Times, citing “people familiar with the situation,” indicates that Bondi was moved from an apartment in Washington, D.C. sometime in the past month after federal law enforcement officials flagged threats against her. Bondi reportedly began receiving threats in the wake of the Trump administration’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January, based on information from a senior official with direct knowledge of the situation.
