Trump administration seeks to target nationwide injunctions

WASHINGTON — Vice-President Mike Pence will announce Wednesday that the Trump administration intends to challenge the right of federal district courts to issue nationwide injunctions.

He’ll make the announcement during a speech at a Federalist Society conference.

Pence will argue that nationwide injunctions issued by federal judges “prevent the executive branch from acting – endangering our national security by obstructing the lawful ability of the president to stop threats to our homeland.”
