The stmnt said that she had been “charged with the illegal performance of an abortion,” which has been a second-degree #felony since the state’s near-total #AbortionBan took effect in 2022. She was also charged w/practicing #medicine without a license.

Court records released late Monday indicated that a person who worked w/Ms. Rojas, Jose Ley, 29, was also arrested & charged w/the same offenses.

Until recently, #EmilBove was one of #Trump’s #defense lawyers, representing him in his NY criminal trial last year. The trial led to Trump’s #conviction on 34 #felony counts for falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal that had threatened to derail his 2016 campaign.

#SDNY has long been viewed as the nation’s most prestigious US atty’s office, & has a reputation for guarding its independence & fending off interference from DC, winning it the nickname “the Sovereign District.”

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "A New York doctor was indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on Friday for allegedly prescribing an abortion pill online in the #DeepSouth state, which has one of the strictest near-total #AbortionBans in the country.

"Grand jurors at the District Court for the Parish of West Baton Rouge issued an indictment against Dr. #MargaretCarpenter; her company, #NightingaleMedical, PC; and a third person. All three were charged with #CriminalAbortion by means of #abortion-inducing drugs, a #felony.

"The case appears to be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state, at least since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade in 2022 and opened the door for states to have strict anti-abortion laws."

#Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is proposing that local elected officials should be charged with a felony and removed from office if they vote in favor of any policy condoning a "sanctuary city."

That's right: #Republicans want to make it a #FELONY to VOTE a certain way! The obvious next step is to outlaw voting for #Democrats and remove them from office.

The 7 were each #convicted of a #felony #conspiracy against rights & a Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (#FACE) Act offense, the #DOJ said. 2 defendants, Idoni & Edl, were also convicted of 2nd FACE Act offenses arising out of a blockade of a clinic in Saginaw in 2021.
Under the FACE Act, 1st-time offenders can be fined or imprisoned for up to 1 yr & subsequent offenders can be fined or imprisoned for up to 3 yrs, or both. #Conspiracy against rights is punishable by up to 10 yrs in #prison.

@eloquence In fact I do hope #TaylorSwift gets some legal experts (i.e. wbs.legal) on that case and sue the account for defamation and "false suspicion" (as the image falsefully accuses her of a literal #felony [at least in #Germany, #France and many other places that don't do "#ConsequenceFreeSpeech ")...

@mircoxi it should not be a fineable offense, because a fine means it's only illegal for small/"poor" corporations.

It's the #HR equivalent of #MarkToMarketAccounting...

  • They should be obligated to fill an advertised vacancy and evidence it!

"Alexander Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to a #Republican effort to impeach the sitting president. Smirnov agreed to plead guilty to four #felony charges, which include one count of obstruction of justice and three tax evasion charges, in exchange for the end of two pending criminal cases against him, according to court documents." #USPolitics
