Legislation banning federal district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions passed the U.S. House Wednesday evening in an effort to address what Republicans call judicial overreach. Multiple district judges have recently slapped universal injunctions on Trump’s rapid-fire government reforms in response to lawsuits filed in district courts.

Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to curtail the ability of judges to issue nationwide injunctions blocking government policies after key parts of President Donald Trump's agenda have been stymied by such court rulings.

The legislation is part of an escalating Republican campaign to take aim at judges who have moved to halt some of President Trump’s executive orders.

Republicans in Congress are making moves to curtail the influence of district courts over nationwide policies.

Republicans have taken up Trump's demand to limit the power of judges after the president faced several preliminary losses to begin his second term.
