The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed the "No Rogue Rulings Act,” a Republican-backed bill aimed at limiting the authority of federal district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions — a tool that has been frequently used to halt President Donald Trump’s policies.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), passed largely along party lines. Just one Republican joined all 212 Democrats in opposing the measure.

If signed into law, the legislation would prohibit federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, instead requiring that their rulings be limited to the specific plaintiffs involved in the case.

The move is intended to prevent individual judges from singlehandedly stopping the administration’s policies from taking effect across the entire country.

Issa pointed to a growing trend of lower court rulings that have interfered with the administration’s actions over the past two months. These include injunctions that have blocked Trump’s policies from proceeding while legal challenges move forward.
