Supreme Court Curbs Nationwide Injunctions on Orders

The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to limit federal judges' authority to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential executive orders, affecting Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship for children born in the US to non-citizen parents. While Trump described the decision as a major victory, the Supreme Court did not address the constitutionality of the executive order, leaving birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment unchanged for now. The order's enforcement is paused for at least 30 days as the case returns to lower courts, which will decide whether the suspension should be nationwide or only in certain areas. Legal experts emphasize that the ruling is procedural, focusing on judicial power rather than the merits of the citizenship issue. Multiple states and civil rights groups continue to challenge the order, and the Supreme Court is expected to revisit the core citizenship question in October. The decision could have lasting effects on presidential authority and the reach of federal court injunctions.
