US Supreme Court curbs nationwide injunctions against Trump NHK

A: Hey buddy! You heard about the big decision from the US Supreme Court?

B: No way, what's going on?

A: So, they said that judges can't issue these thingies called nationwide injunctions. Seems like Trump had a lot of his policies blocked by these injunctions.

B: Oh, really? What was this all about?

A: Well, it was about birthright citizenship. You know, the rule that if someone's born in the US, they automatically become a citizen, no matter their parents' status.

B: Ah, I remember now! Trump wanted to take away some parts of it, right?

A: Exactly! He signed an order on his first day as president to do that. The people he was aiming at were babies born to mothers in the country illegally or temporarily, and children whose fathers aren't US citizens or permanent residents.

B: And what does this Supreme Court decision mean for Trump's order?

A: It means federal judges can't issue rulings that apply nationwide right away. But they didn't say whether the order itself is constitutional or not. They just said it can't start until 30 days from now.
----------------

The US Supreme Court has ruled on Friday that judges on federal courts lack the authority to grant what is known as nationwide injunctions. President Donald Trump has had one after another of his policy initiatives blocked by judges issuing the injunctions.



The specific case before the court had to do with what is known as birthright citizenship, which allows anyone born on US soil to automatically become a citizen regardless of their parents' immigration status.



Trump signed an order on his first day in office to revoke the right for certain people. Those include babies whose mothers are in the country illegally or temporarily, as well as children whose fathers are not US citizens or permanent residents.



The court's decision limits the ability of federal judges to issue rulings that apply nationwide. It specifies that Trump's order cannot take effect for 30 days, but it didn't address the constitutionality of the order.
Summary
The US Supreme Court has ruled that federal judges cannot issue nationwide injunctions, a decision affecting numerous policy initiatives of President Donald Trump. The ruling stems from the debate over birthright citizenship, specifically regarding Trump's attempt to revoke citizenship for
