Donald Trump has called on the Supreme Court to restrict the power of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions that block his administration's policies.

The appeal follows legal challenges to several of his initiatives, including efforts to limit automatic birthright citizenship. In a social media post, Trump warned that if the court did not act, the United States would face serious consequences.

The Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to narrow three nationwide injunctions that have halted Trump's birthright citizenship order.

Chief Justice John Roberts recently criticised Trump for calling for the impeachment of a federal judge who ruled against a policy involving deportation flights to Venezuela. Roberts stressed that judicial decisions should be challenged through appeals rather than political intervention.

Nationwide injunctions have historically been used against both Republican and Democratic administrations, with courts previously blocking major policies under President Joe Biden.

The legal battle highlights growing tensions between the White House and the judiciary, as Trump's sweeping executive actions continue to face significant legal obstacles.
