Lower courts are now limited in their ability to issue nationwide injunctions. Speaking after the Supreme Court ruling today, President Trump said he believes “liberal judges” can no longer stop his agenda. Trump praised the Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship related to the lower court judges who have filed injunctions blocking his many executive orders.
The high court’s ruling limits district judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions related to the effort to prohibit children born in the U.S. from automatically becoming citizens. The President said the ruling applies to all of his executive orders, including immigration.
