Debate ensued over whether nationwide injunctions were attempts by the judiciary to usurp the executive branch’s power. But now, as the Trump administration struggles to secure clean victories from the courts on birthright, immigration, or how it’s dismantling the federal government, the tune from Republicans has changed. Gregory Chen, the senior director of government relations for the American Immigration Lawyer’s Association, told HuffPost in a recent interview that nationwide injunctions are necessary to give people full relief. When it comes to Trump’s birthright citizenship order, Schlanger said she thinks the Trump administration is “interested in creating a permanent underclass.”Advertisement“That’s what doing away with birthright citizenship would do. I think the Trump administration is very interested in doing that and they think that is a good state of affairs,” she said.
