At the Supreme Court, Trump aims to cut the power of judges again
Trump's administration is appealing to the Supreme Court to limit judges' ability to block federal agency actions. This appeal is focused on the Administrative Procedure Act and its restrictive judicial interpretations. A Fifth Circuit ruling had previously voided parts of a regulation due to APA violations. The administration argues that courts should limit relief to specific plaintiffs rather than issuing nationwide injunctions.
The Supreme Court lifted a lower-court order that had temporarily blocked border wall and related construction in the Big Bend area of west Texas, CBS News reported. The ruling lets the Trump administration restart work while a lawsuit over the plan continues, according to WAER. KFOX reported that the vote was 8-1 and that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented; other reports did not give a vote count. KFOX also said environmental groups have warned the project could affect the desert ecosystem and wildlife.
