Limits federal district courts to issuing injunctions only for the parties before them, and only to stop a defendant’s actions as they relate to the specific party who asked for the order. In practice, a judge could not block a law, rule, or policy nationwide or for people who are not parties in the case.
This applies to all types of injunctions (temporary restraining orders, preliminary, and permanent). It does not specify timing or exceptions, and it does not address what appellate courts or the Supreme Court may do.
Introduced February 24, 2025 by Darrell Issa · Last progress 10 months ago
