Does a federal judge have an authority to order an injunction that governs the future conduct of an official, but not a retroactive monetary relief?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Mir v. Kirchmeyer, Case No.: 12-cv-2340-GPC-DHB (S.D. Cal. 2016):

"This exception is narrow: It applies only to prospective relief, does not permit judgments against state officers declaring that they violated federal law in the past, and has no application in suits against the States and their agencies, which are barred regardless of the relief sought." Puerto Rico Aqueduct, 506 U.S. at 146; Edelman v. Jordan, 415 U.S. 651 (1974) (finding that a federal court may award an injunction that governs the official's future conduct, but not one that awards retroactive monetary relief).
