Following a pivotal Supreme Court ruling limiting federal judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions, the Trump administration plans to aggressively challenge court orders blocking its key policies. A White House official said legal teams will seek to narrow or lift broad rulings that have stalled initiatives in agencies like the Education Department and USAID.
President Trump hailed the decision as a vital correction to federal court overreach, calling it a reset of executive-judicial relations. Legal scholars noted that since the Obama era, universal injunctions have frequently frozen presidential actions. The new ruling requires courts to limit injunctions to only the parties involved in a lawsuit.
Though the decision is a short-term blow to liberal efforts to stop Trump’s executive orders, experts warn it may complicate challenges to future administrations as well. The court left room for class-action suits and did not rule out broader injunctions in rare cases. Progressive legal advocates say the decision weakens the courts’ ability to check presidential overreach.
