Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett criticized the Supreme Court’s decision to limit nationwide injunctions, suggesting it was a maneuver to benefit President Donald Trump. Crockett argued the ruling, which followed the court limiting the power of individual judges to issue nationwide injunctions, would hinder courts from blocking policies such as Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship.
