Federal agencies should issue “clear instructions” that law enforcement won’t help enforce state abortion bans, officials from 15 cities including New York and Chicago said.
Attorneys from 15 major cities and localities including New York and Chicago urged the Biden Administration on Thursday to confirm federal agencies won’t help enforce state-level abortion bans, part of a broader effort by Democrats on the state, local and federal levels to blunt the impacts of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and the wave of state abortion bans that have ensued.
Federal agencies should be told to deny any requests for help with enforcing an abortion ban, restrict any sharing of information that could help state or local officials go after someone for allegedly violating an abortion ban, and direct civil rights divisions to review any policies that could pose a risk to reproductive rights, the local attorneys’ letter requests.
