Doe v. Office of Refugee Resettlement

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) petitioned for an emergency stay of the district court's order denying removal under 28 U.S.C. 1442, in an action where an unaccompanied alien minor requested Texas's judicial bypass regime for the purpose of an abortion. The Fifth Circuit vacated the district court's denial of removal and remanded to the district court so that it may conduct a hearing to resolve the question of whether Jane Doe presently wished to pursue an abortion. On remand, the district court was instructed to appoint a guardian ad litem. View "Doe v. Office of Refugee Resettlement" on Justia Law
