WASHINGTON -- US President Donald Trump on Thursday called on the US Supreme Court to limit the power of federal judges to issue injunctions that block his administration's policies, indicating growing tensions between the president and the judiciary system.

"Unlawful Nationwide Injunctions by Radical Left Judges could very well lead to the destruction of our Country!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social, adding that "These Judges want to assume the Powers of the Presidency."

"STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. If (Chief) Justice (John) Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!" Trump said.

Several policies of the Trump administration have already faced lawsuits, including the revocation of birthright citizenship, the acquisition of private information from the US Treasury by Elon Musk and members of the Department of Government Efficiency, the withholding of funding from the National Institutes of Health, the dismissal of employees from the US Agency for International Development, as well as mass layoff in the Education Department.

So far, a number of actions taken by the Trump administration have been halted or temporarily suspended through judicial rulings. This has sparked anger within the administration and among Trump's supporters, resulting in frequent calls for impeaching the judges.

Earlier this week, Trump called for the impeachment of US District Judge James Boasberg after he blocked the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. Boasberg is the chief judge of the US District Court for the District of Columbia.

In a rare statement, Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday criticized Trump and his supporters for advocating the impeachment of the judges who have ruled against the administration.

"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision," Roberts said.

"The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose," said the chief justice.
