| Supreme Court Nukes Nationwide Injunctions Against Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order |
| 2025-06-28 |
| [Federalist] On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court declared rogue lower courts’ universal injunctions against President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship order to be unlawful. "[F]ederal courts do not exercise general oversight of the Executive Branch; they resolve cases and controversies consistent with the authority Congress has given them. When a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power, too," Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote. The final decision was 6-3, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh joining Barrett in the majority. Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. Known as Trump v. CASA, Inc., the matter before the high court centers around the issuance of nationwide injunctions on President Trump’s executive order seeking to end so-called "birthright citizenship." That is a concept in which any individual born on American soil is automatically granted U.S. citizenship under the 14th Amendment, irrespective of whether that individual’s parents are legally permitted to be in the U.S. Following a series of injunctions blocking the order’s implementation among lower courts, the Trump administration appealed to SCOTUS, asking the high court to "’restrict the scope’ of multiple preliminary injunctions that ’purpor[t] to cover every person * * * in the country,’" and limit "those injunctions to parties actually within the courts’ power." The case and Friday’s decision do not, however, determine the merits of Trump’s birthright citizenship order. In her majority opinion, Barrett noted that the injunctions brought before the Court "reflect a more recent development: district courts asserting the power to prohibit enforcement of a law or policy against anyone." |
