The Prince William jail could soon take on the federal task of screening undocumented immigrants for deportation after its 10-member board unanimously decided last week to move forward with Immigration and Customs Enforcement training . " When the court takes up the federal abortion law , it will be considering a statute that was passed by a large majority in Congress and signed by Bush in 2003 - - and then struck down by every lower federal court that has considered it.The lower courts ruled that the law is incompatible with a 5 to 4 ruling by the Supreme Court in 2000 that held that a similar state law , from Nebraska , was unconstitutional.In that case , known as Stenberg v. Carhart , the court said the statute could be read to prohibit other procedures and lacked an exception to protect a mother 's health , creating an " undue burden " on the right to abortion first recognized in Roe.The Republican-controlled Congress included an exception to save a mother 's life . After the war the boundary was stabilized along a line running from the Han estuary generally northeast across the 38th parallel to a point south of Kosong ( Kuum-ni ) , with a no-man 's land or demilitarized zone , 1.24 mi ( 2 km ) wide and occupying a total of 487 sq mi ( 1,261 sq km ) , on either side of the boundary . It generally involves the breech delivery of a fetus , followed by the collapsing of its skull to permit removal . But his case is not moot , because if he wins , he would be permitted to seek a cancellation of his deportation order and return legally to the United States.Lopez 's attorney , Robert A. Long Jr ., told the court that the administration 's position would undermine the uniformity of national immigration rules , because " what it is arguing is that states can banish noncitizens and can do so by enacting drug laws deciding to make a simple possession offense a felony . While several Northern Virginia jurisdictions have discussed taking on the training , which would streamline the deportation process , Prince William could be the first local county to adopt it . " " The basic point of this statute is to draw a bright line between a procedure that induces fetal demise in utero and one where the lethal act occurs when the child or the fetus , whichever you want to call it , is more than halfway outside of the mother 's womb , " Clement replied . Two hours of oral argument on a federal " partial birth " abortion ban at the Supreme Court yesterday showed that the justices are intensely focused on the procedure 's medical details and health implications - - but produced few clues as to how they might rule.As expected , the court 's four most liberal members , Justices John Paul Stevens , David H. Souter , Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer , sounded skeptical about the statute . Local government officials , frustrated that the federal government has not been aggressive in curbing the problem , have begun taking action.Last week , Prince William became the first county in the area to propose allowing its jail to take on the federal task of screening undocumented immigrants for deportation . But they confirmed that prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo intended to present his first cases to judges in February.Sudan is not a party to the statute that governs the International Criminal Court , and the court could only intervene if the government was refusing to investigate , al-Mardi said . " Well , I do n't have an empirical answer to that question , " said Sri Srinivasan , assistant to the solicitor general of the Justice Department.Justice David H. Souter , however , noted that banks could be forced to go through two separate rounds of inspection - - state and federal . " He scolded the government for failing to release evidence favorable to the men after he had ordered it.The two men , five other Palestinians and a Kenyan faced deportation since 1987 .
