Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions, boosting Trump policies and leaving birthright citizenship in limbo; major decisions also impact LGBTQ rights, Obamacare, more.
In a historic decision on the last day of his tenure, the US Supreme Court has limited the ability of lower federal courts to issue a prohibition across the country - temporary orders which prevent policy enforcement of federal government throughout the country. This decision is being seen as a major legal victory for President Donald Trump and its extensive impact for future administration.

Supreme Court ruling shifts power balance in Trump’s major victory. |
Key Highlights of the Ruling
- Deduction in nationwide injunction: The court ruled the decision that the lower courts can no longer release universal injunction, which is a tool used to prevent federal policies from being implemented nationwide. In the opinion of the majority written by Justice Amy Koni Barrett, it was said that the Federal Court "does not normalize the executive branch."
- The remaining legal paths: While nationwide injunctions are restricted, the plaintiff can still get widespread relief through collective lawsuits or when such a prohibitions are the only way to redress the loss.
Trump Hails “Giant Win”
President Trump told this decision during the White House Briefing, it described "a huge decision" and "the constitution of the constitution, the win of the rule of law". He highlighted that many of his policies - which was blocked before - can now move forward, including:
Ending birthright citizenship
Suspending refugee resettlement
Defunding sanctuary cities
Restricting taxpayer funding for transgender surgeries
The Controversial Birthright Citizenship Policy
Although the court did not make any decision directly on the Constitutionalism of Trump Executive Order to end Birth Citizens, but left this issue on the lower courts. Legal experts say that it has become more difficult to stop the policy for opponents with this decision - but not impossible.
Birth Rights Order Affected by the Orders, including immigrant rights group and non-documentary women, has now filed a collective lawsuit to get comprehensive legal relief.
Sharp Judicial Divide
- Justice Sonia Sotomayor, accused the "play in sports" of the administration on the court and played "shameful" to the court.
- Justice Barrett defended the boundaries of judicial power and stressed that the courts should work within the structure set by the Congress.
- The stress on the back was clearly visible, and during the oral hearing, the judge was looking at each other with a disappearance.
Other Major Supreme Court Decisions on June 27
- Obamacare Preventive Care The court retained a major provision, under which the insurance companies were required to cover the believing care of the cost, and the decision that the members of the Task Force recommended, are "the following officers", and they do not need the Senate confirmation.
- Parents Rights and LGBTQ Books In the case of a nearby case, the court took part of the religious parents, who wanted to stop his children from reading LGBTQ + books in public schools. Trump said it "a big win for parents".
- Texas Porn Verification Law The court retained the law of Texas, in which the age verification was required for users of pornographic websites, which is one of the most important first amendment cases in recent years.
- Rural broadband access Discounted programs that provide concessional broadband to rural and low income communities were retained, in which the court rejected the conservative challenge.
- Louisiana's Congressional Map The court delayed the decision on the redistribution case of Louisiana, which effectively remained the second black-rich district. This issue will be debated again in the autumn.
Political and Legal Reactions
- Vice President Jedi Vance: This decision was said to restore "judicial discipline".
- AG Palm Bandy: This decision described "a big win", and expressed confidence that the court will take the side of Trump on the issue of birthright in his next tenure - although no matter is currently determined.
- Immigration Group: Expressed disappointment, but vowed to continue the fight through collective action.
- Legal analysts have warned that the balance of power has been transferred to the President, which has increased the concern of being weakening judicial monitor.
What It Means Going Forward
This decision can be fundamentally changed how the presidential policies are challenged in court. The end of the universal injunction means more fragmented, slow litigation process - which is a challenge for those who have quick nationwide relief seekers.
However, the collective lawsuits still remain a viable way. The affected plaintiffs affected by the Birth Rights Policy are already moving forward with new filings, which aimed after 19 February 2025, to ensure security for all children born in the US - which is the date of the executive order of Trump.
Conclusion
This decision of the Supreme Court is an important moment in the running cottage between the executive and the judiciary. While the future of specific policies such as birthright, the decision of the court has undoubtedly strengthened the hands of the president - for now.
