A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Starr County woman who was arrested for having an abortion.
Lizelle Gonzalez filed the suit against the county in 2024, specifically naming the sheriff, the district attorney and an assistant district attorney.
Gonzalez claimed her rights were violated when she was arrested for murder after a self-induced abortion in 2022. The charges were eventually dismissed, but Gonzalez spent three days in jail. The judge dismissed the case Wednesday after ruling that the defendants are entitled to immunity.
