Ian McShane will be returning with all of his Continental Hotel duties in the John Wick spinoff movie Ballerina. McShane will be joining Ana de Armas in the upcoming spinoff film.

U.S. District Judge Michael J. McShane late Tuesday said he’ll grant a preliminary injunction against new federal restrictions that bar taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from referring patients to abortion providers, calling the rule a "ham-fisted approach to public health policy.''

Oregon is one of 20 states and the District of Columbia that challenged the Trump administration’s changes to the Title X family planning program in U.S. District Court in Oregon, along with Planned Parenthood affiliates and the American Medical Association.

They sought a national injunction. But the judge said he’s reluctant to set "national health care'’ policy and would describe the scope of his injunction in a formal written opinion soon. The U.S. Justice Department urged any injunction apply only to the plaintiffs in this case, noting at least four similar suits pending in other states.

McShane said the so-called "gag rule'' -- barring physicians from referring patients who don’t want to continue their pregnancies to an abortion provider -- prevents doctors from behaving like medical professionals.

The judge also found that it would create a class of low-income women who couldn’t receive a full range of medical care options, foster a "geographic vacuum'' in reproductive health care clinics and likely cause an increase in abortions due to more unwanted pregnancies.

He said the rule, which is set to go into effect May 3, represents an "arrogant assumption'' that government is better suited to direct health care instead of providers.

The judge said he’d also grant a preliminary injunction to stop another change -- the so-called "separation'' rule prohibiting federally funded family planning clinics from being housed in the same place as abortion providers.
