Tidbits:6/28
Abortion-related legal fights begin. Louisiana's and Utah's trigger laws that would ban nearly all abortions were temporarily blocked from going into effect by courts, after the states were sued by reproductive health care groups. Texas, Mississippi, and Idaho have also been sued to prevent their abortion restrictions from going into effect imminently. California lawmakers, meanwhile, are putting an amendment on the ballot this fall that will allow voters to decide whether to codify the right to an abortion in the state constitution.
At least 46 people were found dead in a truck in San Antonio. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said they were migrants crossing from Mexico into the United States, which would make it the deadliest tragedy for people crossing the border in decades. Officials will likely investigate the heat factor—temps climbed above 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the city on Monday.
At least three people were killed and at least 50 injured after an Amtrak train derailed Monday in Missouri, authorities said. The train was traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago and had about 243 passengers on board when it collided with a dump truck near the city of Mendon, about 100 miles northeast of Kansas City, according to the passenger rail company. Aerial footage of the crash showed the train toppled to the side as authorities responded to the scene. Preliminary reports indicate the incident happened at an uncontrolled intersection -- without warning lights or motion gates -- where a gravel road crossed the railroad tracks southwest of town. The collision was the second in two days in which an Amtrak train hit a passenger vehicle.
