Dem senator puts Trump on notice over ‘unlawfully collected’ tariff funds after SCOTUS loss
Senator Ruben Gallego demands President Trump refund billions in unlawfully collected tariff revenue following a Supreme Court ruling against the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act for tariffs.
Senator Ruben Gallego from Arizona has taken action following a Supreme Court ruling that declared President Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs unauthorized. In a letter directed to President Trump, Gallego expressed his concern over the lack of initiative from the administration to refund billions in tariff revenue to the American public, particularly families and small businesses adversely affected by the tariffs. The opinion from the Supreme Court was clear: the President does not have the legal foundation to impose these tariffs under the IEEPA.
