Trump sees policy opening after birthright citizenship rulingThe Supreme Court's ruling on nationwide injunction clears the way for the Trump administration to pursue its goals on immigration and gender-affirming care.
Why it matters: Federal courts have imposed nationwide checks on many of the Trump administration's most contentious policies, but their power is now restricted.
Trump, along with Attorney General Pam Bondi, saw Friday's ruling as a green light to further his agenda on birthright citizenship, gender-affirming surgeries, refugee resettlement and sanctuary city funding.
"We can now promptly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis," Trump said during a news conference.
Driving the news: The Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6-3 along ideological lines to limit the power of lower courts to freeze federal policies. The case centered Trump's efforts to eliminate birthright citizenship in the U.S.
Since January, courts have issues dozens of orders freezing parts of Trump's agendas.
"It was a disaster where somebody from a certain location in a very liberal state, or a liberal judge, or a liberal group of judges, could tie up a whole country for years," Trump said.
State of play: The Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of the executive oder that curtails birthright citizenship in October, Attorney General Pam Bondi said, adding that she was "confident" in the court.
Until then, the administration can start pursuing its policy in states where it's not blocked.
As of right now, 22 states have challenged the the executive order. ..................
