Since Donald Trump's return to power, he has significantly attacked the rule of law by undermining federal agencies and deporting immigrants without due process. District court judges have taken a stand, issuing more than 190 orders to halt actions they deemed illegal. However, a recent Supreme Court ruling narrowed the scope for these judges, limiting their ability to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential actions. The ruling restricts injunctions to plaintiffs unless broader injunctions are necessary for complete relief, reflecting a shift in judicial power regarding executive actions.
Ever since Donald Trump returned to power, he has carried out an unprecedented assault against the country's rule of law, gutting federal agencies, and deporting immigrants without due process.
District court judges have issued more than 190 orders blocking or temporarily pausing Trump actions they considered illegal, slowing the president's wrecking ball against federal agencies.
The six hard-right justices delivered a major victory to Trump by ruling that district court judges can no longer issue nationwide injunctions except in very limited circumstances.
The court ruled that when district judges conclude a presidential action is illegal, they can issue injunctions that only cover the plaintiffs who brought the lawsuit.
