House Passes Bill Limiting District Court Judges From Pausing Executive Actions
By Thérèse Boudreaux | The Center Square
(Worthy News) – Legislation banning federal district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions passed the U.S. House Wednesday evening in an effort to address what Republicans call judicial overreach.
Multiple district judges have recently slapped universal injunctions on Trump’s rapid-fire government reforms in response to lawsuits filed in district courts. The nationwide edicts have raised questions on whether judges should be able to grant relief to parties not included in a case.
The bill, passed 218-214, states that “no United States district court shall issue any order providing for injunctive relief, except in the case of such an order that is applicable only to limit the actions of a party to the case before such district court.”
U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., sponsored the bill, which he says will remedy “a major malfunction of judicial activism.”
“My bill – The No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 – won’t only deal with excesses like Judge Boasberg’s outrageous demands on the President and the Trump Administration,” Issa state, “it is the comprehensive solution we need to ensure that this problem does not occur anywhere in our federal judiciary and resets the proper and appropriate balance in our courts.”
All Democrats present opposed the bill, while all but two Republicans supported it.
The passage follows a Monday decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which that a federal district court does not have the jurisdictional authority to prevent the president from deporting Venezuelan prison gang members.
