SCOTUS Reins in Universal Injunctions: Fox News Politics Newsletter for June 27, 2025
The Supreme Court has made a significant decision in favor of President Donald Trump, ruling 6-3 to limit lower courts from issuing universal injunctions that had previously blocked many of his administration’s executive orders. This ruling marks a major victory for the Trump administration, as it prevents federal district judges from issuing broad injunctions that halt the implementation of Trump’s policies nationwide.
The cases that led to this ruling involved injunctions issued by federal judges in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington state that blocked Trump’s ban on birthright citizenship. The Trump administration argued that these injunctions were overly broad and infringed on the president’s executive authority. With this decision, the Supreme Court has clarified the limits of universal injunctions and restricted their use to specific instances.
The ruling leaves open the question of how it will apply to the birthright citizenship order at the center of the case. This decision is expected to have far-reaching implications for future legal challenges to executive actions and orders issued by the president.
