House Republicans Move to Curb Judges' Power to Block Federal Policies

The U.S. House of Representatives, led by Republicans, has passed a bill that would restrict federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. These injunctions have been used in recent years to block major policies, particularly during the Trump administration. Supporters of the bill argue that a single judge should not have the power to halt federal actions across the entire country. Critics, however, say the bill undermines judicial oversight and could limit checks on executive power. The legislation passed largely along party lines and reflects ongoing tensions between the judiciary and the executive branch.
