NJ attorney general: Universal injunctions still possible after Supreme Court ruling
- On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued a directive regarding citizenship rights at birth, which led to numerous legal disputes and intense political discussion.
- This order followed a pattern of numerous universal injunctions issued in the first 100 days of Trump's second term, including approximately 25 nationwide blocks.
- New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin and other state attorneys general emphasized that citizenship has not varied by state since the Civil War, and this case demands universal relief.

- The ongoing litigation and court rulings suggest that the question of birthright citizenship and the scope of universal injunctions will continue to shape constitutional and administrative law.
