On April 16, 2025, the State of California commenced litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against President Donald Trump, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Acting Commissioner for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
California is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, arguing that President Trump has overstepped his legal authority by implementing his series of tariffs in recent months.
