revocation

Chavez’s lawyer, Meghan Blanco, said the guilty plea would likely result in the revocation of his law license.

“Any person who knowingly performs or induces an abortion of an unborn child in violation of this subsection shall be guilty of a class B felony, as well as subject to suspension or revocation of his or her professional license,” Missouri’s abortion law reads.

"We want to send a message to the government that the revocation is unacceptable to us no matter what," said 38-year-old Zameer Ahmad.

However, the California Department of Public Health said it has the authority to resolve such cases with other actions, “such as an appeal or settlement, that may not include immediate licensure suspension or revocation actions.”

It had therefore not sought permission from the Home Office to have a temporary revocation of Hosein's deportation order.
