 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana.

 Texas and Florida move to join lawsuit challenging abortion pill

Texas and Florida on Friday requested permission from a federal judge to join a lawsuit aimed at limiting access to the abortion pill mifepristone, arguing they must protect their own abortion policies amid shifting laws in other Republican-led states.

The case is currently spearheaded by Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho, which claim the U.S. Food and Drug Administration improperly eased restrictions on mifepristone, including allowing remote prescriptions and mail delivery. Texas and Florida contend in a court filing that the existing states may no longer fully represent the interests of all Republican-led states. They cited legal changes that have affected Missouri and Idaho’s bans on elective abortions, as well as a Kansas Supreme Court decision affirming broad abortion rights, which they say weaken the original plaintiffs’ position. The states also said they need to defend their policies against “shield laws” in other states, such as New York, that facilitate mail-order access to the drug.

The lawsuit challenges FDA actions from 2016 and 2021 that expanded the window for medication abortions from seven to ten weeks of pregnancy and permitted mailing the drug without an in-person clinician visit. The case began under former President Joe Biden and has been defended by the Trump administration, with the Supreme Court rejecting attempts last year to further restrict Mifepristone. A federal judge allowed Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho to continue the case, paving the way for Texas and Florida’s request to join.
