Last week, the US Court of International Trade issued a major ruling striking down Trump's massive "Liberation Day" tariffs and other tariffs imposed under the the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA). The ruling came in a case filed by Liberty Justice Center and myself on behalf of five US businesses harmed by the tariffs, and also covers a related case filed by twelve states led by Oregon. The case is now on appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and that court has issued a brief "administrative stay" temporarily blocking enforcement of the CIT decision to give time to consider whether there should be a more permanent stay pending appeal.
