Impact 7/10
In Trump v. CASA, Inc., decided June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court held 6-3 that federal courts lack authority to issue universal injunctions blocking government policies for anyone beyond the plaintiffs in a case. The ruling arose from nationwide injunctions against Executive Order 14160 on birthright citizenship. It means contested federal policies can now be enforced against people who have not sued, shifting challenges to slower class actions and state suits and leaving protection dependent on where a person lives or whether they join litigation.
