Trump Administration Pushes Supreme Court to Limit Nationwide Injunctions

The administration argues that federal judges are overstepping their authority, as it seeks to advance its contested birthright citizenship policy.

The Trump administration has filed emergency appeals asking the Supreme Court to restrict the use of nationwide injunctions by lower courts, which have blocked key policies, including its birthright citizenship order.
President Trump's executive order aims to deny U.S. citizenship to children born to parents who are in the country illegally or on temporary visas, challenging over a century of legal precedent tied to the 14th Amendment.
Legal experts have criticized the administration's strategy, warning that implementing such policies regionally could create chaos and inequity across the country.
The Supreme Court has requested responses from challengers by April 4, signaling it is not rushing to take immediate action on the administration's appeals.
The case highlights broader debates over judicial authority, with both conservative and liberal administrations historically expressing frustration over the scope of nationwide injunctions.
