Supreme Court Curbs Universal Injunctions

A sharply divided US Supreme Court limited the power of judges to block government policies nationwide but left unresolved a fight over President Donald Trump’s restrictions on automatic birthright citizenship.

The 6-3 ruling Friday said Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship at a minimum won’t take effect for 30 days. The justices returned three cases to the lower courts to consider whether to keep the rules on hold for longer — at least in part of the country if not the whole nation.

Trump hailed the decision as a “monumental victory.” By curbing so-called nationwide injunctions, the ruling could help Trump fend off other challenges to his ambitious agenda. Trump and his allies argued that a single judge generally shouldn’t have the power to block a federal government policy across the country.
