Universal Injunctions Issued by Federal District Courts
The United States has filed three emergency applications
challenging the scope of a federal court’s authority to enjoin
Government officials from enforcing an executive order.
Traditionally, courts issued injunctions prohibiting executive officials from enforcing a challenged law or policy only
against the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The injunctions before
us today reflect a more recent development: district courts
asserting the power to prohibit enforcement of a law or policy against anyone. These injunctions—known as “universal injunctions”—likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress
has granted to Feeral courts.
