On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of limiting lower courts' authority to issue universal injunctions in the case Trump v. CASA, Inc. Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson dissented. The ruling reversed lower courts' decisions to block President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. Justice Amy Coney Barrett stated that federal courts must provide relief strictly to the parties involved and cannot impose broader restrictions. This decision is seen as a significant win for the Trump administration, enabling it to proceed with its policies without as many judicial roadblocks.
In the opinion written by Justice Barrett, the Supreme Court emphasized that while federal courts can intervene when the Executive Branch acts unlawfully, they cannot exceed their own boundaries.
The ruling effectively curtails the capacity of federal district and appellate courts to issue universal injunctions, marking a significant shift in judicial power dynamics.
