Watch: Trump says ruling is "monumental" as he thanks Supreme Court
BBC News, Washington DC
The highest court in the United States has determined that judges in lower courts have a restricted capacity to obstruct presidential directives, marking what President Donald Trump referred to as a "significant victory".
The case focused on whether Trump's effort to utilize an executive order to terminate birthright citizenship for non-citizens and undocumented immigrants was permissible.
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court's conservative justices supported Trump, clarifying that they were not evaluating Trump's initiative to abolish birthright citizenship. Instead, their ruling addressed presidential actions in a more general context.
Experts indicated that this ruling will alter the way executive actions are contested in the future and pointed out that legal challenges to the ruling made on Friday are expected to arise.
Immigrant rights organizations and 22 states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding an executive order that the president enacted on his first day back in office. This order sought to eliminate birthright citizenship, which automatically grants citizenship rights to individuals born on US soil.

The lawsuits, initiated in Maryland, Massachusetts, Washington state, and other locations, aimed to prevent the order from being implemented and temporarily succeeded in doing so.
However, the Justice Department contested this and took the case to the Supreme Court, asserting that those injunctions were unconstitutional.
On Friday, the court sided with the Trump administration and imposed restrictions on how federal courts can issue universal injunctions.

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort. With the stroke of a pen, the President has made a 'solemn mockery' of our Constitution."
