House to Vote on Bill Limiting Nationwide Injunctions Against Trump Policies

Republicans in Congress push legislation to curb federal judges' authority, citing judicial overreach in halting key executive actions.

The House is set to vote on the No Rogue Rulings Act, which would restrict federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions that apply beyond the specific parties in a case.
Senator Chuck Grassley has introduced a parallel bill in the Senate, the Judicial Relief Clarification Act, which also seeks to limit the judiciary's ability to block executive orders nationwide.
Republicans argue that these injunctions have disproportionately hindered Trump administration policies, with over 15 issued in the first few months of his second term.
Critics, including Democrats and legal experts, warn that such legislation could undermine judicial independence and create inconsistent enforcement of laws across jurisdictions.
The debate highlights broader tensions between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches over the separation of powers and the role of the judiciary in checking executive authority.
