The Supreme Court's recent ruling on universal injunctions favors the Trump administration by restricting the ability of federal judges to issue nationwide stays on executive orders. This decision arose from a challenge to Trump's directive regarding the citizenship of children born to immigrants without legal status. The Court's conservative majority suggested that universal injunctions overreach the powers granted to federal courts, thus reinforcing executive authority. This ruling empowers the government, as it can now pursue its policy agenda with fewer judicial barriers, marking a significant shift in judicial power dynamics regarding immigration.
"Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts," the conservative majority said.
President Trump called it a 'monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation of powers and the rule of law.'
