Hidden Bill Provision Could Cripple Court Injunctions

A recently passed bill, nicknamed the "Big Beautiful Bill," contains a provision that could undermine the power of the courts. Section 70302 restricts the use of government funds to enforce injunctions against the administration if no security was initially provided. Brenna Pérez, a political commentator, explains that this could severely limit legal challenges, particularly for those lacking the resources to post a bond. "This tiny little provision is buried on page 562," says Pérez, emphasizing the bill's complexity and the potential for oversight. The provision's retroactive application further exacerbates the issue, potentially invalidating existing injunctions. This raises significant concerns about fairness and access to justice. The bill now moves to the Senate, where further changes are possible.
