Trump v. CASA, Inc., No. 24A884, decided June 27, 2025, with companion applications from Washington and New Jersey. Justice Barrett wrote for a 6–3 Court. The applications did not present — and the Court did not decide — whether Executive Order 14,160 violates the Citizenship Clause. The question was remedy: whether federal courts have equitable authority to issue universal injunctions.
The Court granted the government’s applications for a partial stay “but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue.” Boardman’s February 5 nationwide injunction in CASA, Civ. No. DLB-25-201, was one of the injunctions in that set. A later citation in her own August 7 order is Trump v. CASA, Inc., 145 S. Ct. 2540, 2562–63 (2025).
That is a stay of breadth. It is not a holding that the Executive Order is lawful. It is not a holding that the Executive Order is unlawful. Do not write this page as a merits win for either side on birthright citizenship.
