In a pivotal 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the use of nationwide injunctions in the case of Trump v. Casa, concerning an executive order aimed at eliminating birthright citizenship. The ruling established that remedies should only relieve the plaintiffs involved, limiting broad injunctions that affect anyone outside the lawsuit. Despite dissenting opinions suggesting a threat to the rule of law, Justice Barrett's majority opinion indicated that alternative forms of relief might still be accessible. This decision marks a significant change in how lower federal courts can handle similar government policy challenges.
The Supreme Court determined that nationwide injunctions should no longer prevent executive orders from applying broadly, representing a significant shift in federal court practices.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett's majority opinion suggests that while nationwide injunctions are curtailed, similar relief could still be available in specific instances.
