SCOTUS rules 6-3 against nationwide injunctions in birthright citizenship case

On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration in its attempt to block a lower court’s nationwide preliminary injunction against President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants.

The court wrote in its 6-3 opinion, "Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts. The Court grants the Government’s applications for a partial stay of the injunctions entered below, but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue."
