Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson from Louisiana has announced that she will not be accepting any individual to custody at the Orleans Justice Center arrested for violating the 2006 trigger law that bans abortions in the state following the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

The Sheriff’s announcement “tightens the circle of protection from arrest, prosecution, and incarceration for women and medical professionals who seek or provide reproductive healthcare services” including abortion, according to a July 7 press release from the Sherriff’s Office.
