Emily Ley, founder of the Florida-based paper planner company Simplified, has filed a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump's new emergency tariffs. This lawsuit, organized by the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), is the first known legal challenge to the tariffs, which Ley argues were implemented unlawfully without proper approval. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Pensacola Division. Ley contends that the tariffs are harming American businesses and consumers. The tariffs, which are part of Trump's broader economic policy, have already stirred concerns in financial markets and are expected to face further legal scrutiny as additional challenges arise.
