The Department of Justice (DOJ) is looking into ways it can challenge a new law in Texas that makes abortion illegal if a fetal heartbeat is detectable, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Garland disclosed the effort as he emphasized that federal authorities will crack down on anybody who seeks to use violence or intimidation to block abortions from being carried out in Texas.
