Overview

  • The Supreme Court’s June ruling confined universal injunctions to parties before the court and remanded Trump v. CASA cases for narrower relief.
  • Federal district courts have begun limiting injunctions against the birthright citizenship order to named plaintiffs and specific states.
  • Challengers filed amended complaints seeking class-action certification to secure broader blocks on the executive order.
  • A coalition of state attorneys general pressed for nationwide relief, and dozens of APA suits challenge agency rules implementing the order.
  • The Justice Department is set to release enforcement guidance on the citizenship order when stays lift on July 27.
