Mapping Latin America’s Megaprisons In the three years since President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele opened his famous Terrorism Confinement Center, leaders around Latin America have attempted to follow in his footsteps in hopes of replicating El Salvador’s success in repressing gangs. Yet many of these initiatives function more as political signaling than substantive policy changes.  Here, InSight Crime analyzes the region’s proposals for new megaprisons.

(The Center Square) – Evidence proceedings have concluded in the Alameda County Superior Court following a six-week trial in California’s lawsuit over abortion pill reversal. Attorney General Rob Bonta filed the lawsuit against Heartbeat International and RealOptions Obria in September 2023. The suit alleges HBI and RealOptions use “fraudulent and misleading claims to advertise abortion pill reversal” in California. Abortion pill reversal is a process where extra progesterone is administered to reverse the effects of the first pill in a chemical abortion regimen. HBI operates a large network of pro-life pregnancy resource centers and acquired the Abortion Pill Reversal Network. RealOptions is incorporated in California and operates five crisis pregnancy centers in Northern California. AbortionPillReversal.com says the process is “effective.” According to its website, “medical professionals have been able to save 64-68% of pregnancies through abortion pill reversal.” Still, Bonta called abortion pill reversal an “unproven and largely experimental procedure” that is in violation of California’s False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law. “Every Californian deserves truthful, accurate information when making deeply personal healthcare decisions,” said Bonta in a press release. “Our lawsuit alleges that Heartbeat International and RealOptions promoted abortion pill reversal despite knowing that there is no scientific evidence that shows it is effective or safe.” After several weeks of testimony, Bonta said the Office of Attorney General is “confident” in the strength of its case and looks forward to the court’s decision. “We will continue holding accountable those who undermine reproductive freedom, including by spreading dangerous, baseless claims,” said Bonta, whose office did not respond to The Center Square’s request for further comment. The law firm known as Thomas More Society is representing HBI and RealOptions. Pointing to the evidence presented, Thomas More Society attorney Peter Breen said Bonta “failed to prove” his case. “This trial was Rob Bonta’s chance to prove his claims that APR is ‘unsafe’ and ‘ineffective,’ said Breen in a press release. “Bonta couldn’t find a single victim to put on the stand, and his own witnesses refused to endorse those claims.” According to Breen, Bonta has a history of trying to “silence” pregnancy-help ministries for telling women the “truth” that a woman who regrets taking the abortion pill may still have a chance to save her pregnancy. Both parties will submit post-trial briefs through late August. Closing arguments before Judge Patrick McKinney are expected in mid-September in his courtroom in the San Francisco Bay Area. While the Thomas More Society did not respond to The Center Square’s request for comment by publication time, pro-life advocacy groups provided comments. Mary Rose Short of California Right to Life told The Center Square that the state's case centers on speech restrictions rather than health risks. “Doctors frequently prescribe progesterone to stabilize pregnancies at risk of miscarriage,” Short said. “It is striking that this trial is disputing not whether progesterone is dangerous to pregnant women, not how it affects their unborn babies’ lives, not whether the treatment should be allowed at all, but simply whether pregnancy care clinics can speak about the option of progesterone.” Short added that Bonta’s office pursued a six-week trial for the sole purpose of “limiting what options women know about when they regret their choice” to take the first abortion drug. “Bonta is championing the apparent priority of California Democrats: more abortions at all costs, even if the mother no longer wants it,” said Short.

(The Center Square) – President Trump on Monday did not call on an Ohio Republican Congressman to resign his seat even though the congressman’s former father-in-law – a Republican U.S. senator from Ohio – had done just over the weekend. The congressman, U.S Rep. Max Miller is divorced from the daughter of U.S Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. Moreno, over the weekend, called for Miller to step down from Congress, say he is a danger to the senator’s daughter and granddaughter. “As a father and husband, I can tell you the last two years have been pure hell for my wife Bridget, our daughter Emily, me, and our entire family in the aftermath of Emily's divorce,” Moreno wrote on X. “It has been horrific to watch this play out in full public view, all while knowing an innocent 2-year-old girl is caught in the middle. Our priority has always been protecting our daughter and our granddaughter. Out of concern for the safety of my family, I hoped to keep this matter private but Max Miller’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible. As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help. He is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.” Miller denied the charges. “If my daughter said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn’t wait two years before holding him accountable,” Miller wrote on X. “You know this isn’t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus. This is all political.” Republicans currently hold a narrow majority in the U.S House. With the November midterm elections approaching, it is uncertain whether the GOP would risk losing Miller’s seat. Trump on Monday called Miller a “good person” and said the families are working on the allegations. “It’s a very sad thing,” the president told reporters. “I know Max. He’s a good person. I mean, I always thought he was a very good person, and I’m going to let the families figure that out.”
