Supreme Court Weighs Nationwide Injunctions in Birthright Citizenship Case

Washington, D.C., USA: The Supreme Court heard arguments about whether lower federal judges should have the power to issue nationwide injunctions—an authority that blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship earlier this year. Justices appeared split, acknowledging potential overreach when a single judge halts nationwide policy, yet skeptical about undermining the courts’ ability to prevent widespread harm. The Court’s ruling could transform how quickly contested executive orders get paused or enforced across all states.
