The provision, crafted by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), sought to limit preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders issued by federal judges against Trump administration policies by requiring those who sue to post costly bonds to cover the government’s costs if the order is later overturned.
