Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Judges have halted various Trump administration initiatives, including an executive order restricting birthright citizenship and a buyout program for federal workers. The judiciary's pushback comes amid concerns over the erosion of legal checks on presidential power, especially with multiple lawsuits filed.

As legal challenges mount, the long-term implications for Trump's policy agenda face increasing uncertainty.
