Trump administration rescinds Biden-era guidance requiring hospitals to perform emergency abortions
The Trump administration announced on Tuesday it is rescinding Biden-era guidance that uses a federal law to require hospitals to stabilize patients in need of emergency care -- including by providing an abortion. In July 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued guidance that, under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), doctors must perform abortions in emergency departments -- even in states where the procedure is illegal -- particularly if it serves as a "stabilizing medical treatment" for an emergency medical condition. Emergency medical conditions included, but were not limited to, "ectopic pregnancy, complications of pregnancy loss, or emergent hypertensive disorders, such as preeclampsia with severe features." EMTALA, which was passed in 1986, ensures that emergency patients receive services and treatment regardless of ability to pay. Hospitals that refuse to provide "necessary stabilizing care" or "an appropriate transfer" can face civil monetary penalties. The HHS guidance was one of the attempts of the Biden administration to preserve abortion access after the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, ending federal protections for abortion rights. However, HHS and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rescinded the guidance, as well as an accompanying letter from former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, saying they "do not reflect the policy of this Administration." "CMS will continue to enforce EMTALA, which protects all individuals who present to a hospital emergency department seeking examination or treatment, including for identified emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy," a press release from the agency read. "CMS will work to rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability created by the former administration's actions," the press release continued. Abortion rights groups, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, criticized the administration and accused President Donald Trump of walking back on a campaign promise not to interfere with abortion access. "By rescinding this guidance, the Trump administration has sent a clear signal that it is siding not with the majority, but with its anti-abortion allies -- and that will come at the expense of women's lives," Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, deputy director of the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, said in a statement. "The ACLU will use every lever we have to keep President Trump and his administration from endangering our health and lives." The Biden administration's guidance has faced legal challenges in the past. In January 2024, a federal appeals court ruled that Texas hospitals and doctors are not required to perform emergency abortions despite the guidance.

Antisemitism is on the rise. Here's how the West is reacting
President Donald Trump condemned the attack in Boulder, Colorado, on a group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The police arrested a man who allegedly threw Molotov cocktails and used a makeshift flamethrower on a crowd of 20 people. The suspect, disguised as a gardener, yelled 'free Palestine' during the attack, according to eyewitnesses. He faces hate crime charges in federal court, according to The Associated Press. Twelve people suffered injuries. Trump on Monday said the attack 'will not be tolerated' and blamed former President Joe Biden's border policies for allowing the suspect to come to the U.S. Sources at the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement told Fox News the suspect 'is an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa.' Trump promised that such 'acts of terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law' before expressing his condolences to the victims and Coloradans. This is one of the latest high-profile incidents of violence to make headlines. Late last month, another suspect chanting 'free Palestine' fatally shot two staff members at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., as they were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. The police identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky, a Christian Israeli man, and Sarah Milgrim, a Jewish American woman, as the Deseret News reported. Antisemitism and political violence are on the rise in the U.S. According to the Anti-Defamation League, more than 9,350 instances of antisemitism were recorded in 2024, a 344% increase over the past five years. The White House is putting up a fight against colleges by directly negotiating for more oversight with prestigious educational institutions like Harvard University. The Federal Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism led the fight against Harvard and other universities where antisemitic incidents have been reported. Several states are also taking note of a rise in hate crimes against American Jews in the U.S. and proposing legislation to address this troubling trend. In Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis, who is Jewish and represented the state in Congress for a decade, condemned the Boulder attack publicly and through a letter signed by more than two dozen state and local leaders. Here's what other Western states are proposing. A recent bill from the state House, which was passed in the state Senate, would ban educators in Arizona's public schools and colleges from teaching antisemitism. Teachers and university professors can be held liable if they are found to be teaching or promoting antisemitism. Rep. Michael Way, a Republican, introduced the bill to make schools a place of learning, 'not breeding grounds for hatred and discrimination,' he said in February. 'Arizona has zero tolerance for antisemitism, and this bill ensures that our classrooms are free from the toxic ideology that fuels division and hostility,' the press release said. The state's teacher's union wrote a letter to Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, opposing the bill, which, they argue, 'strips Arizona public school educators of professional liability protections if they face accusations of antisemitism.' The letter added the bill doesn't address 'racism, sexism, anti-LDS bias, Islamophobia, or other forms of bigotry.' HB2867 also does not cover incidents of antisemitism at private schools supported by taxpayer-funded vouchers. The Democratic-led Nevada Legislature passed a bill that defines antisemitism for discrimination investigations. The language in the bill, now on the governor's desk, defines antisemitism as 'a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish Individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.' It uses the widely used definition provided by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. Jolie Brislin, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal this definition 'does not limit free speech or punish criticism of Israel.' The final vote on the bill came a day after the attack in Boulder. Two Jewish teenagers from Las Vegas — 15-year-old Ethan Cohen and 14-year-old Meyer Delee — helped put a spotlight on the bills that designate Jan. 27 each year as 'International Holocaust Remembrance Day' and define antisemitism for the Nevada Equal Rights Commission. Like other states in the West, members of California's Legislative Jewish Caucus initially pursued a bill to create standards for what's acceptable coursework for the state's ethnic studies classes. They wanted to prevent students from being exposed to dangerous content in classrooms. But the caucus shifted strategies and decided to widen the scope by backing a law that strengthens the processing of discrimination complaints to include educators and board members and install an 'antisemitism coordinator' for the state. 'There have been troubling reports of incidents of antisemitism happening within the very spaces meant to foster inclusion and critical thinking,' state Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson, D-La Mesa, chair of the Legislative Black Caucus, told J-Weekly. Her caucus supports the bill. 'We've heard allegations that some educators and even school board members have made comments that marginalize or exclude Jewish voices.' Activists who support Palestine said the bill censors people who criticize Israel.

"Six one-way tickets": White House gloats after Boulder attack suspect's family is detained by ICE
The family of the suspect in a recent attack on a march for Israeli hostages has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian man, was arrested and charged with a federal hate crime and multiple state charges of attempted murder, assault, and possession of an incendiary device after he allegedly threw several Molotov cocktails into a crowd during a march in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday. Soliman is being held on a $10 million bond. Soliman's wife and five children had their visas revoked by the State Department following the attack, per DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin. They await processing for immediate removal. The detention of Soliman's family was celebrated by members of the Trump administration on Tuesday. "This terrorist will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X. "I am continuing to pray for the victims of this attack and their families. Justice will be served." The White House shared an image of Soliman's mugshot as well as a screenshot of video footage of a shirtless Soliman at the scene of the attack. "Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon," they wrote on of State Marco Rubio threatened similar actions against others in a post to social media on Monday. 'In light of yesterday's horrific attack, all terrorists, their family members, and terrorist sympathizers here on a visa should know that under the Trump Administration we will find you, revoke your visa, and deport you,' he wrote.
