Washington: President Donald Trump on Thursday urged the US Supreme Court to curtail the ability of federal judges to issue injunctions blocking his administration's actions nationwide.
"STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE," Trump wrote in a social media post. "If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!"
Federal courts are hearing more than 100 lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s initiatives.
So far, rulings have been issued to block or put on hold numerous Trump actions, including his bid to limit birthright citizenship, freeze federal funds, remove officials and ban transgender troops in the US military.
