Overview

  • By a 6–3 vote, the conservative majority held that lower courts cannot block executive actions nationwide and may only grant relief to parties before them.
  • The decision left unresolved the constitutionality of President Trump’s January 20 order revoking birthright citizenship, which remains under review in the lower courts.
  • President Trump hailed the outcome as a “gigantic victory” on Truth Social and announced plans to advance other policies stalled by judicial blocks.
  • Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent warned that limiting injunctions invites the executive to circumvent constitutional limits and undermines protection of individual rights.
  • Legal scholars caution the ruling could produce a patchwork of federal enforcement, applying contested policies only where no injunction has been issued and reshaping the balance of power between branches.
