US EditionSupreme Court limits judges’ power to halt Trump’s birthright citizenship order
- The Supreme Court concluded its 2024 term on June 27 with a 6-3 ruling that restricts federal courts from imposing nationwide injunctions that block President Trump's executive orders.
- This ruling followed the Trump administration’s appeal in Trump v CASA, which challenged the widespread use of nationwide injunctions halting executive actions like the birthright citizenship order.
- Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion, stating lower courts can grant 'complete relief' to specific plaintiffs but cannot impose universal blocks on policies, while leaving birthright citizenship’s constitutionality undecided.
- Trump praised Barrett’s opinion at a Friday press conference as brilliant, criticizing judges for trying to dictate nationwide law, while critics warned the ruling risks creating unequal classes of citizenship and a legal loophole for collective state lawsuits.
- The decision strengthens the Trump administration’s ability to implement policies nationwide and enhances state attorneys general’s role in challenging executive overreach, suggesting collective lawsuits may increase.
