President Trump is advocating for federal agencies to require a money bond from plaintiffs who seek temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions. In a memo, he criticized 'activist organizations' that use injunctions to interfere with executive decisions, labeling this behavior as an 'anti-democratic takeover.' The aim is to deter frivolous lawsuits, which he argues significantly burden taxpayers. This proposal, however, faces opposition in courts, where judges have denied similar bond requirements, especially when constitutional rights are implicated.
Trump stated that 'activist organizations fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars in donations' have used injunctions to interfere in executive policymaking.
The White House noted that injunctions could cost taxpayers millions or even billions of dollars by mandating funding.
