Trump goes to war against ‘epidemic’ of nationwide injunctions

President Donald Trump has had enough of federal district court judges issuing sweeping blockades against his second-term agenda.

Legal battles over the Trump administration‘s executive actions have repeatedly played out in strategically chosen courts, where judges have issued nationwide injunctions against several of his key policies. The Trump Department of Justice took precise aim against nationwide injunctions on Thursday in a trio of Supreme Court appeals over nationwide blockades against his bid to end birthright citizenship, saying the use of injunctions has reached “epidemic proportions.”
