President Donald Trump on Friday celebrated what he called a “giant win” at the Supreme Court after the justices voted to narrow the scope of lower court injunctions.
“GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard,” he posted on Truth Social. “It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process. Congratulations to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Solicitor General John Sauer, and the entire DOJ. News Conference at the White House, 11:30 A.M. EST.”
While the justices did not directly address the question of birthright citizenship, they found that the lower courts had likely exceeded their authority by imposing universal injunctions against Trump’s executive order and limited the injunctive relief to the plaintiff parties in each case.
The decision will likely have ramifications for a litany of legal battles as the administration has faced an unprecedented surge in nationwide injunctions from lower courts seeking to block Trump’s executive orders on an array of issues.
