The "No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025" aims to significantly restrict the authority of United States district courts to issue broad injunctive relief. Under this bill, district courts would generally be prohibited from issuing injunctions that apply beyond the specific parties involved in a case and those they represent in a representative capacity, effectively targeting so-called "nationwide" injunctions. However, an important exception is created for cases where two or more states from different judicial circuits challenge an action by the executive branch. Such cases would be referred to a randomly selected three-judge panel , which would have the authority to issue broader injunctive relief. This panel must consider the interest of justice, the risk of irreparable harm to non-parties, and the preservation of the constitutional separation of powers when making its decision. Appeals from these three-judge panel decisions can be made either to the relevant circuit court or directly to the Supreme Court, at the preference of the appealing party.
