Barrett, Jackson spar in birthright citizenship case opinions

UNITED STATES, JUN 28 – The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to restrict federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, limiting judicial power over executive actions including Trump’s birthright citizenship order.

  • On Friday, June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court delivered a 6-3 decision in Trump v. CASA that restricted the ability of federal judges to block executive actions on a nationwide scale through injunctions.
  • The dispute originated from President Trump’s executive directive seeking to revoke automatic citizenship for individuals born on U.S. soil to parents without legal status, a move that was halted by lower courts for being unconstitutional.
  • Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion that limited the scope of injunction powers and thoroughly rejected the arguments presented in Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent, which advocated for a universal judicial requirement that the Executive branch must comply with the law.
  • Barrett acknowledged that it is accepted that the Executive Branch is obligated to comply with the law, but she emphasized that the Judiciary does not possess unlimited authority to enforce this duty, challenging Jackson’s view that such compliance should be universally ensured.
  • The ruling restricts judges' ability to block presidential actions nationwide, which Jackson warned risks weakening constitutional principles by emboldening executive overreach.
