The US Supreme Court has notably shifted the dynamics of judicial power by restricting federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions. In a significant ruling concerning the controversial birthright citizenship case, the court decided that such injunctions should only apply to specific plaintiffs instead of halting policies across all states. While the ruling is seen as a win for Trump, it did not provide clarity on the legality of his policy regarding birthright citizenship. The conservative majority emphasized that universal injunctions likely exceed the jurisdiction granted to federal courts by Congress.
The ruling on Friday morning decided by six votes to three by the nine-member bench of the highest court in the land, sided with the Trump administration in a historic case that tested presidential power and judicial oversight.
The court's opinion on the constitutionality of whether some American-born children can be deprived of citizenship remains undecided and the fate of the US president's order to overturn birthright citizenship rights was left unclear.
