Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito issued an administrative stay on a Texas district judge's ruling that sought to block the government's approval of a common abortion drug, teeing up a full ruling by the high court next Wednesday.

A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit issued an unpublished order this week upholding parts of Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s nationwide injunction while striking down his broad suspension of the FDA’s 2000 approval of mifepristone. The Biden administration appealed to the Supreme Court.

Alito's action freezes all parts of Kacsmaryk’s nationwide injunction until the full court delivers a ruling sometime on Wednesday.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
