The U.S. House of Representatives passed the No Rogue Rulings Act on Wednesday, which seeks to restrict district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions. The bill, authored by Rep. Darrell Issa, passed with a narrow 219-213 vote.
If enacted, the legislation would limit federal judges' ability to provide relief to only the parties directly involved in a lawsuit, preventing them from issuing broad injunctions that affect nationwide policies. The bill now moves to the Senate, where it must secure at least 60 votes to become law.
Issa criticized what he described as "weaponized" nationwide injunctions, particularly in the context of the Trump administration’s policies. "Since President Trump returned to office, left-leaning activists have cooperated with ideological judges whom they have sought out to take their cases and weaponized nationwide injunctions to stall dozens of lawful executive actions and initiatives," Issa stated on the House floor.
President Trump has been vocal in his opposition to nationwide injunctions, particularly those issued by what he calls "radical left" judges. He has warned that such rulings could undermine national security and hinder his ability to take swift action on key issues. The Trump administration has faced several federal court orders temporarily halting its policies, including on the deportation of undocumented immigrants, international aid, and federal firings.
The bill’s passage marks a significant step in the ongoing debate over judicial authority and executive power.
