Herrera was arrested after she had a miscarriage and divulged some information to hospital staff, who went on to report her to the police—leading critics of Texas' abortion policies to argue the arrest stemmed from a HIPAA violation.

HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is the law meant to prevent medical professionals from revealing patients' personal information.

"The officers who violated her civil rights also need to be brought to justice," tweeted Leah Torres, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Alabama.
