Twelve states sue Trump over tariffs, claiming they’re ‘illegal’ and harmful to US economy
President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs are facing a major legal challenge from New York and 11 other states, who argue the president overstepped his authority and put the U.S. economy at risk by imposing them without congressional approval.
Filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, the lawsuit challenges Trump’s use of emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad tariffs on imports from countries worldwide.
«Once again, Democrats like Letitia James are prioritizing a witch hunt against President Trump over protecting the safety and wellbeing of their constituents,» White House spokesman Kush Desai wrote exclusively to Fox News Digital. «The Trump Administration remains committed to using its full legal authority to confront the distinct national emergencies our country is currently facing—both the scourge of illegal migration and fentanyl flows across our border and the exploding annual U.S. goods trade deficit.»
The 12 states, however, argue that the Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to impose taxes and tariffs, and that IEEPA was never intended to authorize trade policy on this scale.

«President Trump’s reckless tariffs have skyrocketed costs for consumers and unleashed economic chaos across the country,» said Gov. Kathy Hochul. «New York is standing up to fight back against the largest federal tax hike in American history. Attorney General James and I are partnering on this litigation on behalf of New York consumers, because we can’t let President Trump push our country into a recession.»
«The president does not have the power to raise taxes on a whim,» said New York Attorney General Letitia James. «His tariffs are unlawful and, if not stopped, they will lead to more inflation, unemployment, and economic damage.»
Since February 2025, Trump has signed multiple executive orders imposing new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, and nearly all other U.S. trading partners.
The administration cited national emergencies as the basis for the tariffs, including drug trafficking, illegal immigration, and unfair trade practices. The states in the lawsuit claim the president’s justifications are vague and legally insufficient.
The IEEPA, enacted in 1977, allows presidents to respond to specific international threats, such as terrorism or hostile foreign actors. But according to the lawsuit, no president in the 48 years since its passage has used it to impose tariffs.

The complaint argues that the new tariffs were imposed without congressional approval or the necessary legal findings to justify sweeping trade actions.
The lawsuit also claims that tariffs are not connected to any specific «unusual and extraordinary» threat, as required under IEEPA, which the Trump administration cited as its authority. The states claim the tariffs will significantly raise consumer prices, drive inflation, lead to job losses, and create widespread economic instability.

The legal challenge doesn’t just focus on economics. It argues the tariffs are unconstitutional because they usurp congressional authority over taxes and trade. The lawsuit also claims the administration’s shifting policy — which they claim is often modified by executive orders or social media — has created chaos in trade and financial markets.
Supporters of the Trump administration say the tariffs are a bold move to protect American industries and correct longstanding trade imbalances.
At a February 2025 press conference, President Trump said, «We took in hundreds of billions of dollars [with past tariffs]… It’s going to make our country rich,» framing the measures as a continuation of his America First economic agenda.
But the lawsuit paints a different picture of legal overreach and a lack of transparency. It argues that if President Trump’s actions are allowed to stand, any future president could impose taxes under the label of emergency authority, bypassing Congress entirely.

Gov. Hochul and Attorney General James, both vocal critics of the Trump administration, have frequently clashed with the president over a range of issues, from immigration to environmental policy. This latest lawsuit marks another high-profile confrontation.

Alongside New York, the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont have joined the case.
The coalition is asking the court to block further enforcement of the tariffs and declare the orders invalid under both the Constitution and federal law.

EXCLUSIVE: Federal authorities arrested a staff member of a clinic in Ontario, California, for allegedly interfering with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest, while another remains at large.
Earlier this month, Honduran national Denis Guillen-Solis, a landscaper, allegedly left on foot to evade law enforcement and went inside the Ontario Advanced Surgical Center, where he was not a patient.
«This story is another example of a false narrative peddled by irresponsible members of the media in furtherance of a political agenda to delegitimize federal agents. The illegal alien arrested inside the medical center was not a patient and was not in any way affiliated with that location.

Cómo funciona Aeneas, la inteligencia artificial que reconstruye inscripciones romanas perdidas en piedra

La arqueología suele evocar imágenes de excavaciones silenciosas y hallazgos cubiertos de polvo que solo unos pocos expertos pueden descifrar. Sin embargo, el avance de nuevas tecnologías está transformando este universo milenario, dando un giro inesperado a la forma en que reconstruimos nuestro pasado. La inteligencia artificial ya no es solo terreno de ingenieros y programadores: ahora se convierte en una aliada esencial para quienes exploran los misterios del Imperio Romano.
Descubrir una losa antigua, grabada con palabras casi desvanecidas por el tiempo, y que una máquina revele en segundos un mensaje que permaneció oculto durante siglos, que hasta hace poco parecía ciencia ficción. Sin embargo, ahora es una realidad gracias a Aeneas, un software de inteligencia artificial que redefine la reconstrucción de inscripciones romanas.
Esta herramienta permite restaurar textos latinos fragmentados y aporta datos inéditos sobre su origen y datación. El desarrollo, realizado por un equipo internacional dirigido por Thea Sommerschield de la Universidad de Nottingham, junto a Google DeepMind, ya marca un hito en la aplicación de tecnologías emergentes al estudio del patrimonio histórico, según publicó The Art Newspaper.
Con este avance, el pasado cobra otra dimensión: las voces de quienes escribieron en piedra hace siglos vuelven a ser audibles, y detalles que parecían perdidos resurgen gracias a la inteligencia artificial. Así, la frontera entre historia y tecnología se borra, y se abre un universo de posibilidades para comprender cómo vivían, pensaban y se comunicaban los antiguos romanos.

Cada año, los arqueólogos encuentran aproximadamente 1.500 inscripciones latinas en edificios, artefactos y restos del mundo romano. Muchas llegan incompletas, con daños por roturas o erosión, lo que dificulta la tarea de reconstruir su contenido y comprender su contexto original.
Tradicionalmente, estas restauraciones exigen un profundo conocimiento del latín y la comparación meticulosa con cientos de textos similares. Esta labor es lenta y compleja, porque supone analizar una vasta colección de ejemplos para inferir las palabras y frases perdidas.
“Estos textos suelen estar dañados y normalmente no sabemos dónde ni cuándo fueron escritos”, explicó Sommerschield, quien lo comparó con “resolver un gigantesco rompecabezas, solo que este tiene decenas de miles de piezas más de lo habitual y el 90% de ellas faltan, porque eso es todo lo que ha sobrevivido a lo largo de los siglos”.

Frente a este escenario, Aeneas es la primera herramienta de inteligencia artificial creada para contextualizar inscripciones antiguas. Su nombre rinde homenaje al héroe de la mitología grecorromana y el sistema se apoya en una base de datos de 176.861 inscripciones latinas, que abarcan desde el siglo VII a.C. hasta el siglo VIII d.C. recogidas desde la antigua Britania romana hasta Mesopotamia.
La tecnología de Aeneas puede predecir el texto perdido de una inscripción incluso cuando se desconoce la longitud de la sección faltante, sugerir el lugar probable de origen del texto, identificar inscripciones similares y establecer un rango aproximado para su creación, en ocasiones con una precisión de solo trece años. Estas capacidades, basadas en la comparación automática con la enorme base de datos del sistema, agilizan y mejoran el proceso de reconstrucción textual, posibilitando reconstrucciones más fundamentadas y rápidas.
Sommerschield, líder del proyecto, resaltó: “Aeneas ayuda a los historiadores a interpretar, atribuir y restaurar textos latinos fragmentarios”. La investigadora precisó que el objetivo no es reemplazar a los expertos, sino proporcionarles un respaldo tecnológico que optimice su labor, ampliando así el alcance de sus investigaciones y el análisis de documentos históricos.
Las primeras pruebas de Aeneas incluyeron inscripciones emblemáticas. Entre ellas, la Res Gestae Divi Augusti, grabada en el Templo de Roma y Augusto en Ankara, Turquía. Esta inscripción sigue siendo objeto de debate en cuanto a su datación exacta, por lo que ofrecía un escenario ideal para testar el sistema.

Aeneas asignó fechas a la Res Gestae que coincidieron con las estimaciones de los historiadores y con inscripciones comparables, demostrando así su capacidad para contextualizar textos de extrema complejidad.
En Mainz, Alemania, el sistema también fue probado con una inscripción de un altar votivo, estimando correctamente su fecha en torno al año 214 d.C., identificándola como propia de la provincia romana de Germania Superior y proponiendo lecturas para las partes dañadas del texto. Sommerschield calificó estos logros como “momentos asombrosos” para el grupo de investigación.
Estos resultados no solo validan la precisión de la herramienta, sino que permiten nuevas posibilidades para el estudio de inscripciones menos conocidas, o en peor estado de preservación. El desarrollo y las pruebas de Aeneas recibieron reconocimiento en la revista Nature, lo que subraya su relevancia científica y abre la puerta a aplicaciones más ambiciosas en museos y yacimientos arqueológicos.
Sommerschield enfatizó que la llegada de este avance no desplaza la labor tradicional de los historiadores, sino que representa una oportunidad para potenciarla. La investigadora imagina un futuro en el que la colaboración entre expertos y sistemas como Aeneas acelere la comprensión de textos antiguos y enriquezca la visión sobre el pasado romano.
