US Supreme Court Allows Trump Tariffs To Remain Amid Legal Challenge

The US Supreme Court recently handed President Trump a temporary legal victory by declining to fast-track a challenge to his sweeping tariffs, allowing them to remain in effect while the normal appellate process proceeds. The Court rejected a request from two family-owned toy companies, Learning Resources and Hand2Mind, who argued that Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by imposing these tariffs unilaterally. Meanwhile, a federal appeals court has ruled in favor of President Trump, stating he likely acted within his authority in federalizing National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid protests against his migration policies. This deployment marked a rare instance of federalization without the consent of California's governor, who is continuing to challenge the president's actions. President Trump has hailed these judicial decisions as significant victories supporting his authority to impose tariffs and manage national security responses. The legal battles over both tariffs and troop deployments are ongoing, with critical appeals hearings scheduled in the near future.
