Summary
The court argued that the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act "applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation."
The Biden administration is weighing action to make it more difficult for migrants at the southern border to pass initial screenings for asylum and to make it easier for those who don't pass the screening to be deported.

Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden's campaign manager, said the amount was "an indisputable show of strength to start the election year."
We cover all this and more during the news roundup.
