House GOP Plans to Restrict Federal Judges' Injunction Powers

House Republicans are advancing legislation aimed at limiting federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions, a move that aligns with President Trump's frustrations over judicial decisions halting his policies, including deportation efforts. The No Rogue Rulings Act, introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa, seeks to restrict injunctions to specific parties involved in cases, reflecting a push to curb what GOP lawmakers describe as 'judicial overreach.' This week, both the House and Senate are holding hearings to address concerns about judicial activism, with prominent Republican figures emphasizing the need for legislative solutions to what they view as a malfunction in the judiciary. In a notable case, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg temporarily blocked deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act, which has drawn sharp criticism from Trump and his allies. As part of their strategy, Republicans are also exploring proposals that would allow Congress to impeach judges, although they acknowledge the political challenges of such actions. This legislative effort underscores a broader Republican narrative that portrays the judiciary as obstructing Trump's agenda.
