States vs Tariffs: Legal Battle Heats Up | Los Angeles News

Twenty-five states are suing the White House over new tariffs, calling them a legal loophole to skirt a Supreme Court ruling that killed previous ones — accusing the administration of illegally taxing families and businesses under the guise of fighting forced labor. The White House defends the move as lawful presidential authority to penalize countries failing to stop forced labor, with tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on 60 trading partners — nearly all of U.S. imports. Even before the states filed suit, small businesses had already challenged the tariffs, arguing they’re too vague and don’t effectively address forced labor.
