U.S. SUPREME COURT PROHIBITS NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS, BUT THE DECISION’S PRACTICAL IMPACT IS UNCERTAIN -
On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. CASA, Inc., — S. Ct. —, 2025 WL 1773631 (June 27, 2025)that district courts likely do not have the equitable authority to issue nationwide or universal injunctions, which are injunctions applicable to anyone, anywhere. Accordingly, the Court stayed the nationwide injunctions issued by three district courts enjoining enforcement of an executive order issued by President Trump limiting birthright citizenship, but only to the extent that the preliminary injunctions were broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue. Id. at *15. In doing so, the Court did not rule on whether President Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship violates the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment.
