Federal courts at every level have now recognized that these unilateral tariffs, imposed without Congressional authorization, are unlawful and cannot stand. Our statement on the Supreme Court's decision in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump @sarawynne @neal_katyal @JeffreyMSchwab

This week's CIT status conference provided the clearest picture yet of where IEEPA refunds stand. • 16 million entries submitted through CAPE • $95 billion in refunds moving through the process • $23 billion already sent to Treasury for payment • Expected to reach $40 billion by the end of June

The information presented to the court shows the refund process continues to move forward and expand. The court, CBP, and the government appear to be working toward the same goal: ensuring every American business entitled to a refund has a path to receive it. LJC's TERRA site will continue tracking refund progress, monitoring developments and providing updates as new information becomes available. libertyjusticecenter.org/tar…

When CPS adopted a policy forcing women and girls to share facilities with the opposite sex, we took action. That complaint prompted a federal Title IX investigation, which took center stage during a congressional committee hearing. Schools that push radical policies at the expense of student safety and parents' rights must be held accountable. news.wttw.com/2026/06/10/cps…

Can the government take your property, keep the surplus equity, and then argue you should have raised a legal defense that didn't exist at the time? That's the question before the New Jersey Supreme Court, and our latest brief argues against this abuse of government power. libertyjusticecenter.org/ami…

15,600 members. That's the gap between the Illinois Federation of Teachers' public membership claims and the number it reported to the U.S. Labor Dept. If they are lying about membership, what else are they lying about? @markjanusLJC has some thoughts: libertyjusticecenter.substac…

NEW: The most prominent academic critic of private-school vouchers is coming out in favor of states opting into federal tax credits for education donations, per the New York Times. "Dr. [Josh] Cowen has long opposed state-level voucher programs because of their potential to reduce public-school budgets. But he argued it made sense for states to opt into the federal program, because public schools can actually increase their revenue by providing covered services like tutoring." "'In what world would closing the door to new revenue make any sense?' he asked." "Dr. Cowen predicted that almost every governor would eventually choose to participate in the program."
NEW: Illinois Democrats can unlock $100M in education funding for Chicago—without hiking taxes—thanks to a new federal tax credit program. Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said he “would be crazy” to reject the opportunity. But Illinois leaders haven’t committed yet. And Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates is trying spike the program before a single child can benefit.

"There is something uniquely American about a small company being able to walk into court and challenge unlawful action by the most powerful office in the world. That is not a defect in our system. It is the best of our system." 👇 LJC's @sarawynne in @fDiIntelligence fdiintelligence.com/content/…

Corporations are the go-to boogeyman for politicians, including the justification for laws that restrict speech. BUT Hawaii's Act 11 will silence churches, nonprofits, and small businesses from supporting/opposing candidates and ballot measures that affect their missions. And if your response is "Corporations aren't people," you've paved the way for the other political boogeyman —"millionaires"—to be the only individuals who can afford to be heard. libertyjusticecenter.substac…

"Free speech is under assault in many places these days, but traffic court? Leave it to Illinois, where the state Supreme Court kicked a Cook County judge off the bench over an article he wrote while a private citizen." @WSJopinion Editorial Board breaks down our lawsuit on behalf of Judge Brown. wsj.com/opinion/judge-james-…

LJC stands with parents, school boards, and districts that choose transparency, accountability, and lawful parental-notification policies. We've launched PARENTS, a rapid-response defense, litigation, and policy enforcement initiative to push back when government officials try to override families.

The government has already acknowledged it MUST refund unlawful IEEPA tariffs. Today's filing asks the CIT to ensure every importer can access CBP's CAPE refund system and recover the money it never should have had to pay in the first place. EVERY DOLLAR—WITH INTEREST. libertyjusticecenter.org/wp-…

a) WTO rules allow for Section 122 tariffs "to forestall the imminent threat of, or to stop, a serious decline in its monetary reserves." b) The Trump Administration's legal briefs concede that Section 122 requires the U.S. to comply with WTO rules. c) The 12-page USTR document does not once mention a decline in monetary reserves. d) The Section 122 tariffs are illegal.

As @MarkJanusLJC explains, the CTU members' rejection of the dues increase should be a wake-up call for SDG and her entourage. BUT will union leadership listen and change course? We doubt it. libertyjusticecenter.substac…

BREAKING: Leaked election returns from the Chicago Teachers Union show final results on the dues hike vote (Q1) and a provision making it more difficult for members to sue the union (Q2). Q1 YES: 7,361 votes (37.1%) Q1 NO: 12,468 votes (62.9%) ✅ Q2 YES: 9,770 (49.2%) Q2 NO: 10,091 (50.8%) ✅ This is a stunning defeat for the union’s political leadership.
NEW: Chicago educators dealt a stunning rebuke to Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates’ push for an $8.5M dues hike. In modern Chicago history, there are no examples of teachers union membership bucking leadership in a referendum of this magnitude. Here's what it means for the city and the union. thelastward.org/p/chicago-te…

If it looks like an IEEPA tariff, operates like an IEEPA tariff, and is being used to replace the IEEPA tariffs the Court already rejected... It's just as unlawful. They may call them Section 301 tariffs. BUT businesses and the courts will recognize what they really are.
