Supreme Court Limits Universal Injunctions in Birthright Citizenship Case
the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, has partially sided with the Trump governance’s request to limit universal injunctions issued by federal courts, specifically in a case concerning birthright citizenship.
The conservative majority stated that universal injunctions likely exceed the authority granted to federal courts by Congress. The court granted a partial stay of the injunctions, limiting their scope to provide relief only to plaintiffs with standing to sue.
The case revolves around President Trump’s executive order regarding birthright citizenship. The order,issued on his first day in office,declared that children born to parents who are in the U.S.illegally or on temporary visas are not automatically entitled to citizenship.
Following the executive order, immigrant rights groups and 22 states filed lawsuits. Three federal district court judges later invalidated the order, issuing universal injunctions that prevented the administration from enforcing the policy nationwide.
The Trump administration then sought intervention from the Supreme Court to block universal injunctions altogether after the courts of appeal declined to intervene.
