Synopsis
Two workers at a Houston-area clinic serving low-income Spanish-speaking communities were arrested under Texas’ near-total abortion ban.

Texas Tribune reporter Eleanor Klibanoff reports that the arrests underscore the ongoing legal threats facing health care workers living under abortion bans.
