Ruling on Injunctions Could Imperil Many Court Orders Blocking Trump Administration
- On June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court limited federal courts’ power to issue nationwide injunctions in a 6-3 ruling.
- The Supreme Court, citing the Judiciary Act of 1789 and Justice Amy Coney Barrett's opinion, found that 'universal injunctions' exceed courts’ statutory authority, implying Congress can restore this power via legislation.
- Historically, Judge Robart's 2017 travel-ban TRO and Judge Baker's 2021 vaccine injunction exemplify the use of 'universal relief,' with 25 nationwide injunctions issued in six months of Trump's second term.
- Following the ruling, injunctions now apply only to plaintiffs, leading to patchwork enforcement and curbing lower-court authority over federal policies.
- Moving forward, Senator Chuck Grassley has introduced legislation to ban most nationwide injunctions, shifting the responsibility to Congress to restore judicial authority.
