CASA Inc concerned the use of universal injunctions - specifically in the context of the 14th amendment's clause granting citizenship to all persons born within the United States.
The case started when US President Donald Trump issued an executive order purporting to reinterpret the constitution to not grant citizenship to children born in the US to undocumented immigrants and non-resident non-citizens.
