Universal Injunctions and Trump v. CASA, Inc. – September 1, 2025
In Trump v. CASA, Inc. (decided June 27, 2025), the Supreme Court placed substantial limits on the ability of federal district court judges to issue “universal injunctions,” which temporarily freeze enforcement of a federal policy for the entire nation. Instead, CASA ruled that these judges have authority to grant relief only to the plaintiff in a case or a class of plaintiffs. Though a win for President Trump in the short term, the ruling is also a victory for future presidents, since universal injunctions have been a punching bag for Republicans and Democrats alike for over twenty years. In this Court Report, Supreme Court expert Brandon Bartels explains the law and politics surrounding this issue and CASA’s implications for the future.
