The ruling came just over one year into Trump’s second term and after skeptical questioning from key justices during oral arguments last November. It appears set to immediately halt a massive section of Trump’s tariffs, which were announced last year on “Liberation Day” using a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). “IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs,” read the decision, written by Chief
