Summary

The Republican-led House passed a bill 219–213 to curb federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, a response to judges rulings against Trump-era policies.

The bill restricts relief to affected parties only, not nationwide. Republicans argue liberal judges are blocking Trump’s agenda, while Democrats say courts are striking down illegal orders. GOP lawmakers also seek to limit funding for enforcing broad injunctions.

The bill faces slim chances in the Senate.

The Congressional Research Service reported 17 nationwide injunctions so far in Trump’s second term, compared to 86 in his first.
