Late today the Federal Circuit issued an order granting an immediate administrative stay of the judgments and permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade against President Trump’s Executive orders imposing various tariffs. The order indicates the stay will remain in force until the Court of International Trade itself stays the injunctions or the Federal Circuit rules on the government’s motions to stay. Notably, the order, while issued per curiam, indicates all eleven of the court’s active judges (other than Judge Newman) agreed to grant the administrative stay. Here is the full text of the order.
V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump (En Banc Nonprecedential Order)
In the above-captioned cases, the United States Court of International Trade entered judgment against the United States and permanently enjoined certain Executive Orders imposing various tariffs. The United States moves to consolidate its appeals from those rulings and has applied for this court to stay the judgment and injunction pending these appeals and for an immediate administrative stay while the court considers that motion. The United States’s request for the Court of International Trade to grant the same relief remains pending before that court.
Upon consideration thereof,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The motions to consolidate are granted. The appeals are consolidated, such that only one set of briefs should be filed for the appeals. The revised official caption for the consolidated appeals is reflected in this order.
(2) The request for an immediate administrative stay is granted to the extent that the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers.
(3) The parties are directed to immediately inform this court of any action taken by the Court of International Trade on the United States’s pending stay motions.
(4) The plaintiffs-appellees are directed to respond to the United States’s motions for a stay no later than June 5, 2025. The United States may file a single, consolidated reply in support no later than June 9, 2025.
