U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals

The Biden administration had asked the higher court to stay a decision from a Texas judge while the appeal plays out.

House Bill 20 was passed after several conservatives — most notably, former President Donald Trump — were banned on social media platforms.

A 5th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that dealt a setback to bail reform in Dallas County could have an impact throughout Texas and two other states. And there's even a chance the case could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Bail reform in Dallas County was dealt a setback late Friday, when a federal appeals court vacated an injunction set by a lower court judge. It sent the case back to the district court, telling it to look further into whether federal courts can weigh in at all.

Plaintiffs said it was unusual for the Fifth Circuit to delay holding oral arguments after the Supreme Court's ruling and that it simply had to remand the case.

The decision Thursday could push the law closer to returning to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has already once allowed the restrictions to take effect without ruling on its constitutionality. The Texas law bans abortions once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks and before some women know they are pregnant.
