President Donald Trump took a victory a lap on Friday after the Supreme Court limited nationwide injunctions issued by lower court judges against his executive order to effectively end birthright citizenship.

“This was a big one, wasn’t it?” Trump said as he walked into the White House briefing room.

While Trump celebrated the 6-3 court decision as a “monumental win,” the justices did not weigh in on whether his executive order is constitutional and allowed legal challenges to continue.

Attorney General Pam Bondi acknowledged the justices will rule on the merits of Trump’s Day 1 order during their next term, which starts in October.

Trump and Bondi, though, praised the court’s conservative majority for limiting a federal judge’s power to block a president’s policy nationwide. Justice Amy Coney Barrett argued only the Supreme Court can provide such universal relief.

Nationwide injunctions have been at the center of the administration’s monthslong standoff with the judiciary, as several of Trump’s actions — from his immigration crackdown to efforts to freeze federal funding — have been halted by district court judges.

“I was elected on a historic mandate,” Trump said from the podium. “In recent months we’ve seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they’ve voted for in record numbers. It was a grave threat to democracy.”

Trump specifically thanked Justice Barrett, who authored the opinion. Barrett has drawn some ire from conservatives for staking out independent ground and at times breaking with Trump, who appointed her to the bench.

Asked about the conservative criticism of Barrett, Trump responded: “I don’t know about that. I just have great respect for her. I always have. And her decision was brilliantly written today.”

Trump also continued to make the case for his Day 1 executive order that would deny citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to unlawful immigrants or those on a temporary immigrant status. District court judges, so far, have said such a move would appear plainly contrary to the text of the 14th Amendment and legal precedent.

The administration’s claimed in court proceedings birthright citizenship creates a strong incentive for illegal immigration.

“They used birthright citizenship, some of the worst people, some of the cartels, to get people into our country,” Trump said on Friday.

It would likely take “years” for the Iranians to rebuild all three nuclear facilities struck by the U.S. — Natanz, Fordow and Esfahan — because they were “destroyed,” U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Wednesday.

Gabbard also criticized what she called the “propaganda media,” accusing outlets of trying to “selectively release portions of illegally leaked classified intelligence assessments (intentionally leaving out the fact that the assessment was written with ‘low confidence’) to try to undermine President Trump’s decisive leadership and the brave servicemen and women who flawlessly executed a truly historic mission to keep the American people safe and secure.”

Earlier in the week, CNN reported details from an early Defense Intelligence Agency assessment indicating that the U.S. strikes on Iran only set back its nuclear program by months.

Gabbard told ABC News on Monday that the U.S. strike against Iran obliterated “key Iranian capabilities needed to quickly assemble a nuclear weapon.”

“The operation was a resounding success,” Gabbard added.

Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei delivered a televised address on Thursday morning, just days after the United States targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities in a 30-hour bombing campaign, with the leader saying Iran has “delivered a harsh blow to America.”

Saturday’s operation, named “Operation Midnight Hammer,” marked the U.S. military’s largest-ever deployment of B-2 stealth bombers and first use of 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs in combat, Pentagon officials said. The 30-hour precision strike targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities, making it the longest B-2 mission since 2001, according to officials.

Ayatollah Khamenei struck a defiant tone on Thursday as he congratulated Iran for “its victory over the American regime.”

“The Islamic Republic also triumphed here and delivered a harsh blow to America. My second congratulations go to our dear Iran for its victory over the American regime,” Khamenei said. “The US entered direct war because it felt that if it didn’t, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed. Yet, it gained nothing from this war. Here too, the Islamic Republic emerged victorious and delivered a harsh slap to America’s face.”

“A nation of around 90 million stood united, with one voice, shoulder to shoulder, supporting the armed forces,” he continued. “The Iranian people demonstrated their exceptional character and showed that, when needed, a single voice will rise from this nation.”
