US EditionTrump Hails ‘Monumental Victory’ After Supreme Court Curbs Nationwide Injunctions that Have Slowed His Agenda
- On June 27, 2025, the US Supreme Court decided that federal judges do not have the power to issue injunctions that apply nationwide, restricting such orders to the jurisdictions where the courts are located.
