MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Al Otro Lado, Inc. v. McAleenan, 423 F.Supp.3d 848 (S.D. Cal. 2019):
"[T]he scope of injunctive relief is dictated by the extent of the violation established, not by the geographical extent of the plaintiff." Califano v. Yamasaki , 442 U.S. 682, 702, 99 S.Ct. 2545, 61 L.Ed.2d 176 (1979). In the immigration context, moreover, courts "have consistently recognized the authority of district courts to enjoin unlawful policies on a universal basis." E. Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Trump , 932 F.3d 742, 779 (9th Cir. 2018) (citing cases).
