Watch live: Garland delivers remarks as DOJ preps response to Texas abortion law

Attorney General Merrick Garland is scheduled to hold a press conference today announcing a civil enforcement action.

The briefing comes just days after the Department of Justice said it will protect women who are seeking abortions in the state of Texas following a controversial law going into effect that bans the procedure once a fetal heartbeat is detected.

The news briefing is slated to begin at 2:30 p.m. ET.
