Supreme Court: Trump Victory on Limiting Nationwide Injunctions
Share on:

The US Supreme Court has given the Donald Trump administration the 'green light' to implement its policies, limiting the power of lower courts to block them nationwide. The decision was reached by a 6-3 vote.

The conservative majority set limits on the issuance of temporary orders suspending the implementation of presidential decrees. The occasion was Trump's order to abolish the right to citizenship by birth.

Trump welcomed the decision, while liberal justices expressed strong reactions. Sonia Sotomayor accused the body of 'playing Trump's game'.

Despite the restriction, the Supreme Court left open the possibility of judicial protection through class action lawsuits. Pro-immigrant groups have already filed a new lawsuit.

Amy Coney Barrett clarified that the issuance of a nationwide suspension order remains possible in cases of imminent risk of harm.
