  • A group of 12 Democratic AGs obtained a ruling from the U.S. Court of International Trade that President Trump’s issuance of tariffs under the International Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) is unlawful.
  • The court accepted arguments made by the AGs in their complaint that the IEEPA tariff orders are in excess of the powers granted the President by Congress.
  • The AGs had also argued that the tariffs violate the separation of powers, that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) is without authority to issue guidance implementing the tariff orders, and that CBP’s guidance is arbitrary and capricious.
  • We have previously covered California AG Rob Bonta and Governor Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit challenging the tariffs.
