Trump administration wins key ruling on birthright citizenship injunctions

The Supreme Court ruled to limit federal judges' power to issue nationwide injunctions, affecting the Trump administration's attempt to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. The decision restricts injunctions to parties involved in lawsuits, allowing the birthright citizenship case to proceed only in states that challenged it. While the ruling didn't address the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship clause, it emphasized judicial restraint, with conservative justices in favor and liberal justices dissenting. This has implications for other nationwide injunctions affecting policies like immigration and environmental regulations.
