Importer Eteros Technologies and its CEO, Aaron McKellar, filed an amended complaint in a court in Washington state in their case against CBP for allegedly retaliating against the company and its executive for winning a customs case at the Court of International Trade. The complaint added two more executives, Amanda James, director of strategy and business development at Eteros Canada and Eteros USA, and Ryan Bjergso, a senior executive at Eteros USA, alleging that both also suffered "adverse" immigration consequences due to CBP's retaliatory actions (Eteros Technologies USA v. United States, W.D. Wash. # 2:25-00181).

Importer Eteros Technologies and its CEO, Aaron McKellar, said the company will add more of its employees to its case against CBP for allegedly retaliating against the company and McKellar for winning a customs case at the Court of International Trade. The motion for an extension of time to file an amended complaint in the suit came after the federal district court in Washington state largely kept the company's case alive (see 2508080055) (Eteros Technologies USA v. United States, W.D. Wash. # 2:25-00181).
A law professor from Georgetown University and a former Biden administration official have differing outlooks on the future of the lawsuits on tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act filed in courts. Professor Marty Lederman said he would be "very surprised" if the Federal Circuit or Supreme Court ruled against the government on non-delegation or major questions doctrine grounds. Lawyer and former federal official Peter Harrell, however, said that the courts may welcome an opportunity to curb executive power.
