A South Florida immigration attorney is weighing in after the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a significant legal victory to the Trump administration on Friday , ruling that federal judges cannot issue universal injunctions that apply nationwide.
In a 6-3 decision split along ideological lines, the high court ruled that a lower court's injunction blocking President Donald Trump's executive order targeting birthright citizenship only applies to the plaintiffs in that specific case - not to everyone in a similar situation across the country.
"So what it means is that for everybody else subject to birth in the United States who may not have had lawful parents they do have standing to sue and they too have the constitutional rights, but not in this lawsuit," said Miami-based immigration attorney Linda Osberg-Braun.
"Which means it could generate a whole bunch of new lawsuits?" she was asked by Local 10's Christina Vazquez.
"It's a court clogger," Osberg-Braun responded.
