Supreme Court Rules to Limit Universal Injunctions

The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Trump v. CASA Inc., et al. severely limits the ability of federal district court judges to grant nationwide injunctions. This ruling is part of the ongoing litigation regarding the Trump administration’s executive order narrowing birthright citizenship.

It’s important to note that this ruling does not decide the constitutionality of the executive order. Its effect only impacts the ability of federal district court judges to bring universal relief in cases where the federal government may clearly violate the Constitution.

What’s Next

The Trump administration will be allowed to implement the executive order on July 27 for anyone who is not a party to ongoing lawsuits regarding the constitutionality of the limitations on birthright citizenship. Multiple lawsuits have been filed in federal court, including suits by 22 states and organizations seeking class action relief for all individuals potentially impacted by the executive order. Pending court decisions, the implementation of the executive order may be limited.

The arguments for and against the Constitutionality of birthright citizenship continue.
