Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions, fate of Trump birthright citizenship order in gray area
Updated 27 Jun 2025, 08:18 PM IST Mint Image
The Supreme Court has today instructed district courts to stop the endless barrage of nationwide injunctions against President Trump, according to a recent announcement by US Attorney General Pam Bondi. An AP report on this reads,"A divided U.S. Supreme Court ruled that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions, but the decision left unclear the fate of President Donald Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship. The court is issuing decisions on the final six cases left on its docket for the summer, including those that are emergency appeals relating to Trump's agenda."
'Cases on the court's emergency docket are handled swiftly, and decisions often come without explanations of the justices' reasoning. Decisions released today will be related to appeals on birthright citizenship, an online age verification law in Texas, the Education Department's firing of nearly 1,400 workers and DOGE-related government job cuts,' the AP report continues.

Trump Makes Surprise Pivot On Elon Musk, Says Want Him To Thrive Like Never Before
New Delhi: US President Donald Trump clarified on Thursday that he supports Elon Musk and wants his companies to "thrive." He emphasized that he wants all American businesses to "thrive like never before," amid speculation of a fallout between the two after Musk criticized Trump's major tax and domestic policy bill. In a post on Truth Social, Trump addressed circulating claims that he may withdraw federal support for Musk's companies, Tesla and SpaceX. "Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon's companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large-scale subsidies he receives from the US government. This is not so!" Trump wrote. "I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!" He went on to highlight how the prosperity of Musk's companies could benefit the nation overall. "The better they do, the better the USA does, and that's good for all of us," Trump added, noting that the country is "setting records every day," and he intends to continue on that path. Earlier this month, tensions flared when Trump dismissed Musk's launch of a new political outfit, the America Party, calling the move 'ridiculous.' "It's ridiculous to start a third party. We have tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a two-party system. Third parties have never worked, so he can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous," Trump told reporters, according to media sources. Meanwhile, Musk on Wednesday cautioned his investors about the possibility of US policy changes that could reduce support for electric vehicles, a move that he said might result in "a few rough quarters" for the company.

WATCH: Trump and Fed Chair Powell clash over renovation costs in unusual on-camera exchange
After months of criticising Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, US President Donald Trump took the fight to the Fed's front door on Thursday as the two argued over the ballooning costs of a project. Powell pushed back on Trump's public claim that the central bank's renovation had ballooned to $3.1 billion. The fact-check came in real time, and on camera, as Trump handed Powell a folded piece of paper with the higher cost estimate. Powell calmly examined the numbers, then corrected the president, 'Are you including the Martin renovation?… You just added in a third building.' Trump insisted, 'It's a building that's being built,' to which Powell replied, 'No, it was built five years ago.' The confrontation occurred during Trump's visit to the Marriner S Eccles building in Washington, D C, the Fed's headquarters currently undergoing major renovations. Trump alleged that the project's cost had ballooned to $3.1 billion, significantly higher than the Fed's official estimate of $2.5 billion. 'I haven't heard that from anybody,' Powell said, shaking his head. However, the bickering was just not limited to the renovation costs. 'We have to get the interest rates down,' Trump said later after a short tour, addressing the cameras this time without Powell. 'People are pretty much unable to buy houses.' However, Powell and other officials have signalled they will likely keep their key rate unchanged at about 4.3 per cent. Trump did step back a bit from some of his recent threats to fire Powell before his term ends May 26. Asked if the rising costs of the Fed's renovation, estimated in 2022 to cost $1.9 billion, was a 'fireable offense,' Trump said, 'I don't want to put this in that category.' The Fed allowed reporters to tour the building before the visit by Trump, who bragged about his own lavish spending on architectural accoutrements that gave a Versailles-like golden flair to his buildings. This heated exchange is the latest episode in a long-running feud between Trump and Powell. The White House has repeatedly issued statements accusing Powell and the Fed of hindering economic growth, frequently blaming high interest rates for sluggish housing markets and rising borrowing costs. Trump has regularly used public forums to denounce Powell's leadership. Despite these attacks, Powell has maintained the central bank's independence and commitment to data-driven decision-making.
