đď¸ Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions
-
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6â3 that individual federal judges do not have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions, effectively reversing previous blocks on Trumpâs executive actions, notably his order to end birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants.
-
The ruling does not settle the legal status of the birthright citizenship order itself; that issue remains under review.
-
Trump declared it a âGIANT WINâ, calling it a âmonumental victoryâ that empowers his agenda .
đŁ Trump holds press conference & shifts agenda
-
In a White House briefing today, Trump expressed renewed momentum to push through key legislative priorities, including tax cuts, Medicaid/food-stamp reforms, and immigration restrictionsâall timed before a self-imposed JulyâŻ4 deadline.
-
He also weighed in on U.S.âIran tensions, stating he supports inspectors entering Iranian nuclear sites following recent U.S. strikes and urged diplomatic engagement.
-
Additionally, he attacked the media and Democrats after leaks revealed contested details about the effectiveness of U.S. strikes on Iranâs nuclear facilities.
đ Why this matters
-
The SCOTUS decision significantly limits judicial power, reducing federal courtsâ ability to block Trumpâs executive orders on a nationwide scale. This paves the way for swift implementation of his policies and could shift the balance between judicial and executive branches.
-
Trumpâs remarks signal a heightened focus on his second-term agenda, despite existing legal and congressional headwinds. The pace as his self-deadline of JulyâŻ4 approaches adds urgency and political pressure .
