Trump wins BIG in the Supreme Court as judges limit nationwide injunctions
The court’s ruling preserves the authority of the Executive Branch, which has long had a tenuous relationship with the federal judiciary

President Donald Trump scored a win for the presidency on Friday when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled decisively on the use of federal injunctions that often pause policies from the executive branch, handing a big win to Trump and the presidents who come after him.
According to CBS, the court limited the use of nationwide injunctions on presidential orders, particularly as it pertains to the issue of eliminating birthright citizenship. Several of President Trump’s presidential actions have been held up in federal court, slowing the implementation of executive policy.
“GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard. It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process,” Trump wrote on Truth Social just after the decision was announced.
The president also held a press conference at the White House today to respond to the momentous decision.
“In striking down the excessive use of nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch, the Supreme Court has [saved] the presidency itself,” he said.
Trump added, “I was elected on a historic mandate. In recent months, we’ve seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers.”
The Supreme Court’s decision was a big win for those frustrated with the federal circuit’s habit of stymying presidential executive orders – whether they were Republican or Democrat.
During Joe Biden’s term, the court issued 28 injunctions, but so far in Trump’s first 100 days, courts have issued 17 nationwide injunctions against Trump’s orders, with as many as 40 total just before this ruling, per CBS.
