FAQ

Dig deeper on this story with frequently asked questions.

Nationwide injunctions are court orders that prevent the enforcement of a law or policy across the entire United States, not just in the district where the lawsuit was filed. The Supreme Court limited their use because they likely exceed the equitable authority granted to federal courts by Congress, meaning courts should only grant relief to the parties involved in a case rather than broadly blocking policies nationwide.

The ruling allows for quicker implementation of President Trump's executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents without legal status or on short-term visas by limiting the ability of courts to issue nationwide injunctions blocking the policy. However, the Court did not decide on the constitutionality of the order itself.

The dissenting justices, including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, criticized the ruling as an existential threat to the rule of law, arguing that it expands presidential powers excessively and undermines the judicial branch's ability to check the executive branch.

Legal opponents are exploring other legal strategies, including possibly pursuing class action lawsuits and state-led challenges, to effectively contest the ruling and continue to challenge the Trump administration's policies despite the limitation on nationwide injunctions.

The decision sets a precedent that federal courts cannot broadly block executive actions nationwide through universal injunctions, limiting judicial authority to address executive branch policies only in cases involving the actual parties affected, which could reshape how future executive actions are challenged in court.
