Nationwide Injunction Abuse Prevention Act of 2025
This bill (S 1099) would restrict federal district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions that block laws across the entire country. It requires any court order providing injunctive relief to apply only to the specific parties in the case or within the court’s local judicial district. The law directly affects federal courts, plaintiffs seeking injunctions, and government agencies enforcing laws nationwide. This change would prevent courts from halting federal policies for all states or citizens, limiting injunctions to more localized scope.
