The Court leaves open the door that a lower court could provide injunctive relief to a state plaintiff by blocking the implementation of an EO for all people within that state, but does not directly opine on the question. Lower courts are almost certainly going to vary in how they interpret this.

The Court identifies class actions as the appropriate way to get large-scale injunctive relief. Class actions designate parties other than the named plaintiffs as parties to a case. These are going to be more labor intensive, and require more plaintiffs to step up, than was the case before today.

The Court effectively says that injunctive relief can, for the most part, apply only to the people who have asked for it. For example, if someone sued to reinstate their own funding, the Court might reason that it would not bring that plaintiff further relief to have an injunction apply to others.
