Landmark case from the Supreme Court

by | Jul 16, 2025 | Firm News

 This case accomplished two different missions for the Trump Presidency.  (1.) Limits Federal District Courts from injunctive relief against the Trump administration.  Basically, the United States Supreme Court now runs the show alone and the Federal District Court’s cannot stop the Administration.   (2.) In 30 days, the Trump Administration will be able to enforce the birth citizenship order.  Where children born to undocumented parents and/or to temporary visitors (such as tourist in the United States) will not have their children who are born in the United States become United States Citizens by birth.
The Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines on Friday sided with the Trump administration’s request to limit universal injunctions issued by federal courts. The opinion in the birthright citizenship case was highly anticipated. “Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts,” the conservative majority said, sending the case back to lower courts to reconsider their broad orders. However, the opinion also blocked President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship from taking effect for 30 days, while litigation continues.
