U.S. Supreme Court Limits Nationwide Injunctions Impacting Birthright Citizenship

  • Last Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 to ban federal district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions, limiting lower courts' authority on effective date.
  • Prompted by concerns over lower courts overstepping, the Supreme Court reaffirmed under the Judiciary Act of 1789 that universal injunctions lack authority, reasserting judicial hierarchy.
  • According to Justice Barrett, universal injunctions exceed equitable authority; oral arguments occurred on May 15, 2025, requiring future nationwide relief to be pursued via class actions.
  • Following the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision, the ban takes effect in 30 days, enabling the Trump administration to advance its policies amid mixed reactions from Republicans and immigrant advocates.
  • Beyond birthright citizenship, the ruling requires nationwide injunctions to be pursued through class actions, prompting Rep. Brian Babin to propose a bill defining jurisdiction.
