Case Summary

(This summary is temporary, while we research the case.) On June 12, 2025, eleven states filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the United States of America, President Donald Trump, and the Environmental Protection Agency and its Administrator. The states challenged three resolutions signed by the Trump administration that purport to negate California state law regulating car emissions, which California passed pursuant to the California waiver in the Clean Air Act. The states alleged that the resolutions exceeded Defendants’ statutory authority and violated the Administrative Procedure Act, the Congressional Review Act, the Take Care Clause, the Separation of Powers, and the Tenth Amendment.
