House Republicans Rally Against Judicial Overreach as Trump Faces Unprecedented “Injunctions”

House Republicans Rally Against Judicial Overreach as Trump Faces Unprecedented “Injunctions”A Historic Surge in District Court Judicial RoadblocksThe House Responds: A High-Profile Hearing and Legislative Action 

Amid an unprecedented wave of nationwide injunctions issued against the Trump administration, Republican lawmakers announced a resolution to fight back against judicial tyranny and overreach. Since President Donald Trump’s return to office in January 2025, federal district judges have issued a record-breaking number of injunctions, 15 to be exact, amid more than 120 lawsuits that have challenged Trump’s executive orders and policies in just over two months. Many of the injunctions have resulted in broad orders halting administration actions nationwide. This surge far surpasses the judicial resistance faced by previous administrations, prompting Republicans to accuse activist judges of undermining the will of the 77 million Americans who voted for Trump’s agenda.

A Historic Surge in District Court Judicial Roadblocks

 

The numbers tell a stark story. According to a study by the Harvard Law Review, the first Trump administration (2017–2021) faced 64 nationwide injunctions—double the combined total of 32 issued against the Bush, Obama, and Biden administrations from 2001 to 2023 and more than half of all Injuctions since 1963 (127 total). Under President Barack Obama, courts issued just 12 injunctions over eight years; George W. Bush faced six; and Joe Biden encountered 14 total. In contrast, Trump’s second term has already seen at least 15 nationwide injunctions in February 2025 alone, a pace that Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris has called “epidemic proportions” in an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court.

These injunctions have targeted cornerstone policies of Trump’s “America First” agenda, including his executive order to end birthright citizenship, efforts to deport Venezuelan migrants suspected of gang ties under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, and cuts to federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Judges in states like Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have issued sweeping orders, often citing constitutional violations such as the 14th Amendment, to block these initiatives nationwide—far beyond the plaintiffs directly involved in the cases.

Republicans argue that this pattern reflects a politicized judiciary. Data from the Harvard Law Review reveals that during Trump’s first term, 92.2% of the 64 injunctions were issued by judges appointed by Democratic presidents. In contrast, all 14 injunctions against the Biden administration came from Republican-appointed judges. Critics, including Johnson, point to this partisan divide as evidence of “judicial tyranny” aimed at thwarting a duly elected president.

The House Responds: A High-Profile Hearing and Legislative Action

 

The centerpiece of the GOP’s legislative response is the “No Rogue Rulings Act” (NORRA), introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.). The bill, which advanced through the Judiciary Committee, seeks to limit the scope of district court injunctions to the parties directly involved in a case, effectively barring judges from issuing nationwide blocks. “The founders could never have envisioned judges and part of the legislative branch teaming up to tie down the executive and disempower the people,” Issa told Fox News Digital, framing the current judicial climate as a “weaponization of courts.”

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson shared a resolute message: the House of Representatives is working tirelessly to curb what he and fellow Republicans describe as rampant judicial overreach by activist federal judges. “The House is working overtime to limit the abuses of activist federal judges,” Johnson declared. “Our @JudiciaryGOP will expose the worst offenders in a high-profile hearing & we are preparing urgent legislative action, like the @repdarrellissa bill to stop unfounded nationwide injunctions.”

Speaker Johnson’s has pledged to “expose the worst offenders” along with the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). The upcoming hearing is expected to spotlight judges like James Boasberg, who blocked Trump’s deportation flights, and others accused of leveraging their benches for partisan ends. Posts on X have highlighted specific judges—such as Reyes, Chuang, Boasberg, and Chutkan—noting their alleged Democratic ties, though such claims remain anecdotal without official verification.

Issa’s proposal has garnered strong support from the White House, with President Trump reportedly backing the bill. On March 21, Judiciary Chairman Jordan urged swift action, “We passed that bill out of the Judiciary Committee. Let’s make sure we get it to the President’s desk to sign!” The legislation is slated for a House floor vote in early April, with GOP leaders optimistic about its passage in the Republican-controlled chamber.

Nationwide injunctions give outsized power to individual district judges, encouraging “forum shopping” where plaintiffs seek sympathetic courts. Acting Solicitor General Harris argued in a Supreme Court filing that “the Executive Branch cannot properly perform its functions if any judge anywhere can enjoin every presidential action everywhere.” The administration has appealed to the Supreme Court to curb the practice, though a ruling is not expected until early April.
