The Justice Department (DOJ) is Suing Texas over the State's New Restrictions on Abortions after Six weeks of Pregnancy, Attorney General, Merrick Garland, announced on Thursday.

Garland called the Texas Law "clearly unconstitutional," and said it included an "unprecedented scheme" to Insulate the State of Texas from Responsibility for the Law.

The Lawsuit was filed, Thursday afternoon, in federal District Court in Texas.

"The United States has the authority and responsibility to ensure that Texas cannot evade its obligations under the Constitution and deprive individuals of their constitutional rights by adopting a statutory scheme designed specifically to evade traditional mechanisms of federal judicial review," the Lawsuit reads. "The federal government therefore brings this suit directly against the State of Texas to obtain a declaration that S.B. 8 is invalid, to enjoin its enforcement, and to protect the rights that Texas has violated."
