Trump administration set to dismiss federal lawsuit on Idaho emergency abortion access
BOISE, Idaho — The Trump administration has indicated plans to dismiss a federal lawsuit challenging emergency abortion care in Idaho, potentially as soon as Wednesday. This lawsuit, initially filed by the Biden administration, targets Idaho’s restrictive abortion laws for allegedly violating the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).
“The only thing that will save women in Idaho in those dire, dire health scenarios is the Supreme Court’s injunction upholding the EMTALA exception,” said Representative Ilana Rubel, D-Idaho.

EMTALA, enacted in the 1980s, mandates that hospitals provide care regardless of a patient’s ability to pay or insurance status and requires transferring patients if the hospital cannot offer adequate care.
Requests for interviews or comments from the Idaho GOP and Attorney General Raul Labrador’s office were not returned. Rubel shared her expectations, stating, “I fully expected them to, just given where they are on women’s reproductive rights, and given how tight they are with our Attorney General, et cetera, I knew it was extremely unlikely that the Trump administration was going to pursue a lawsuit against Raul Labrador and against the state of Idaho to protect women’s reproductive rights.”
St. Luke’s Health System, Idaho’s largest healthcare provider, has also filed litigation against Raul Labrador. They pointed to concerns that “a new administration might move to vacate the [existing] injunction and dismiss the action.”
The announcement came with documentation from United States Attorney Daniel Schwei, who contacted the Idaho Legislature and legal counsel on Monday, March 3rd.
Both the State and St. Luke’s Health System will appear in court on Wednesday, as Idaho News 6 continues to monitor the developments.

The USDA has issued a public health alert for various meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated dairy that may have been contaminated with salmonella. The recall was originally issued on April 30th, but the contaminated product list could continue to grow as more products are identified.
The Food Safety and Inspection arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued the public health alert and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products listed below, consumers are still advised to dispose of the items or return them to the place of purchase. Great Value and Pork King Good products sold at Idaho Walmart stores are included in the alert and recall.

With Idaho’s primary election coming up, which ballots are Idaho voters eligible to cast? Well, it depends.
The state leaves it up to political parties to decide whether their primary is open or closed.

Voting in Idaho: What are closed primaries?
The Republican Party has a closed primary, meaning only registered Republican voters can participate. Meanwhile, the Democratic primary is open to all registered voters, regardless of party affiliation.

Voters can change affiliation to take part in a different party’s primary, but state law requires voters to switch their affiliation no later than the 12th Friday before the primary, which in the May 2026 election has already passed.
A previously unaffiliated voter can affiliate with a party of their choice on the day of the primary and participate in its primary.
Each voter is only allowed to cast one ballot.
