Trump Administration Challenges Judiciary Over Nationwide Injunctions

Tensions escalate as Trump defies court orders, legislative proposals aim to limit judicial authority, and the Supreme Court faces pressure to intervene.

Over 40 nationwide injunctions have been issued against Trump administration actions in the first two months of his second term, surpassing precedent.
The administration defied a court order halting deportation flights, citing the Alien Enemies Act, raising concerns about a constitutional crisis.
Senators Mike Lee and Josh Hawley introduced bills to limit judicial powers, including banning nationwide injunctions and requiring three-judge panels for rulings against executive actions.
The Supreme Court has been reluctant to address the issue, despite the administration's urgent petitions to curb what it calls judicial overreach.
Critics argue that the administration's push to limit judicial authority threatens the judiciary's independence, while supporters see it as restoring balance to the separation of powers.
