President Donald Trump on Friday claimed a “giant win’ after the Supreme Court ruled that lower court judges may not issue nationwide injunctions in a ruling that emanated from challenges to his administration’s efforts to block children born in the United States to immigrant parents from receiving citizenship.
Trump saw the moment as so monumental that he quickly organized a press conference from the White House briefing room, only his second there since being reelected, to proclaim that the court had handed down “a monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation of powers and the rule of law.”
