Supreme Court Narrows Power of Lower Courts to Issue Nationwide Injunctions

  • On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Trump v. CASA, Inc., finding that federal district courts went beyond their legal powers by issuing nationwide injunctions that blocked President Trump's order on birthright citizenship.
  • The ruling arose after multiple federal district courts halted Trump administration policies nationwide, including workforce reductions and the birthright citizenship executive order.
  • The Court held that district courts likely exceeded the powers granted by Congress, thereby limiting their ability to block policies broadly and reviving some enforcement efforts.
  • Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, warning the decision allows constitutional violations against those not yet sued.
  • The decision narrows the use of nationwide injunctions, possibly leading to more class action lawsuits and complicating uniform enforcement of federal policies.
