Trump vows to proceed with blocked policies after SCOTUS limits injunctions

President Donald Trump on Friday vowed to move forward with some of his biggest policies after a Supreme Court ruling limited the ability of lower court judges to impose judicial stays.

"So thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, including birthright citizenship, ending sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping federal taxpayers from paying for transgender surgeries and numerous other priorities of the American people," Trump said during a press conference. "We have so many of them. I have a whole list."

The administration has seen many of its executive orders subjected to nationwide injunctions, though the Supreme Court decision found that Congress had not given that authority to the lower courts and narrowed their scope to providing injunctive relief to the plaintiffs in that case.

"I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex problem, and they've made it very simple," Trump said. "I want to thank Justice Barrett, who wrote the opinion brilliantly, as well as Chief Justice Roberts and justices Alito Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Thomas, great people."
