SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Syllabus
TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL.
v. CASA, INC., ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR PARTIAL STAY
No. 24A884. Argued May 15, 2025—Decided June 27, 2025*
Plaintiffs (respondents here)—individuals, organizations, and States—
filed three separate suits to enjoin the implementation and enforce-
ment of President Trump’s Executive Order No. 14160. See Protecting
the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship, 90 Fed. Reg. 8449.
The Executive Order identifies circumstances in which a person born
in the United States is not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and is
thus not recognized as an American citizen. The plaintiffs allege that
the Executive Order violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship
Clause, §1, and §201 of the Nationality Act of 1940. In each case, the
District Court entered a “universal injunction”—an injunction barring
executive officials from applying the Executive Order to anyone, not
just the plaintiffs. And in each case, the Court of Appeals denied the
Government’s request to stay the sweeping relief. The Government
argues that the District Courts lacked equitable authority to impose
universal relief and has filed three nearly identical emergency appli-
cations seeking partial stays to limit the preliminary injunctions to the
plaintiffs in each case. The applications do not raise—and thus the
Court does not address—the question whether the Executive Order vi-
olates the Citizenship Clause or Nationality Act. Instead, the issue
the Court decides is whether, under the Judiciary Act of 1789, federal
courts have equitable authority to issue universal injunctions.
