CIT Judges Question USTR's Legal Basis for Section 301 Forced Labor Tariffs

CIT Judges Question USTR's Legal Basis for Section 301 Forced Labor Tariffs

A panel of judges from the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) has questioned the government regarding the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative’s (USTR) Section 301 investigation into whether 60 economies implemented or enforced forced labor import bans. The judges, including Timothy Reif, Jennifer Choe-Groves, and Lisa Wang, specifically probed why the USTR did not consider the level of economic development of the investigated economies, as potentially required by Section 301(d)(3)(C) of the statute. Government counsel Eric Hamilton argued that USTR relied on the general unreasonable standard under Section 301(b)(1) and was not explicitly required to consider economic development. Plaintiffs, led by Learning Resources, argued that USTR's failure to consider economic development was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and that the agency failed to make country-specific findings or identify actual burdens on U.S. commerce, instead relying on correlations and economic...

EEOC Proposes Major Overhaul to Federal Employee Discrimination Complaint Process

EEOC Proposes Major Overhaul to Federal Employee Discrimination Complaint Process

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to significantly revise the process for federal employee discrimination complaints. The proposed changes aim to streamline the existing system by eliminating several mandatory steps. Specifically, the EEOC plans to remove the pre-complaint counseling process, administrative hearings at the agency level, and administrative class actions. Under the new proposal, federal employees with discrimination claims would initiate the administrative process by directly filing a complaint with their respective agencies. These agencies would then be responsible for compiling the record and resolving all complaints, without the option for a hearing before an EEOC-appointed administrative judge. While complainants would retain their right to appeal agency decisions to the EEOC, the commission would decide whether an administrative judge is needed to further develop a case on appeal. The EEOC would then review the record...

Immigration Advocate Sues Federal Government Over Warrantless Phone Search at Miami Airport

Immigration Advocate Sues Federal Government Over Warrantless Phone Search at Miami Airport

An Argentinian-American writer and immigration advocate, Thomas Kennedy, has filed a lawsuit against the federal government. The lawsuit demands the deletion of data he believes was copied from his phone by a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent at Miami International Airport. Kennedy alleges that upon re-entering the United States, a CBP agent physically searched his bags, questioned him about his reading materials, and then demanded his phone. According to Kennedy, the agent threatened that refusal would prolong his interrogation and could lead to indefinite retention of his device. Feeling he had no alternative, Kennedy handed over his phone. The agent reportedly kept the phone for approximately 45 minutes before returning it, at which point Kennedy was released without charges. He believes his phone's data was copied during this period. Kennedy, who collaborates with several nonprofit groups including the Florida Immigration Coalition and Amnesty International, suspects he was targeted due to his ...
