A group of 24 states sued the Trump administration in the first legal challenge to his newly imposed 10% global tariffs. Here's what to know: |
|
|
- The states allege President Trump cannot sidestep a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that invalidated most of his previous tariffs on imported goods by citing new legal authority. Read the complaint here.
- Trump's February 20 executive order imposed a 10% tariff on imports, but U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said those rates would likely rise to 15% later this week.
- The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, argues these new tariffs are also illegal.
- The tariffs were imposed under the Trade Act of 1974, which the states say is meant to address short-term monetary emergencies, not routine trade deficits that arise when a wealthy nation like the United States imports more than it exports.
- Meanwhile, Judge Richard Eaton of the U.S. Court of International Trade will meet behind closed doors with government lawyers today seeking to hammer out a process to refund up to $175 billion in illegally collected tariffs, a meeting a court official described as a "settlement conference."

- Press freedom: U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in D.C. will hold a motion hearing in a lawsuit brought by The New York Times against the U.S. Department of Defense and Secretary Pete Hegseth over a new policy threatening to revoke credentials for journalists who report on unauthorized information. Read the complaint.
- Immigration: U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in D.C. will hold a motion hearing in a lawsuit seeking to block a new interim final rule issued by the Executive Office for Immigration Review set to take effect on March 9 that immigrant rights groups say would effectively eliminate meaningful appellate review before the Board of Immigration Appeals. Read the motion.

Some things work best if everyone plays along: A game of tug-of-war; the quiet car on a train – and the proposed $7.25 billion Roundup class action settlement. What's notable about the deal, which aims to resolve thousands of current and future claims alleging the weedkiller causes cancer, is how it's structured to keep class members from walking away. That includes a provision denying legal fees to individual plaintiffs' lawyers with more than 25 clients who opt out of the settlement, Jenna Greene writes in On the Case. |
