Press Releases

Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement on new reports that the administration is attempting to avoid issuing refunds for Trump’s illegal tariffs.

“President Trump stole money from American families and small businesses with his illegal tariffs and is doing everything he can to avoid paying it back. At every turn since the Supreme Court’s ruling that struck down Trump’s tariffs, his administration has made it incredibly challenging for consumers and importers to get their money back. Their latest claim that the administration needs a court order to issue refunds is a thinly veiled attempt to ignore the courts and break the law.

“Congress should speak with one bipartisan voice that enough is enough on Trump’s tariff chaos. Congress should make clear these sweeping tariffs are illegal, prevent the White House from continuing to try to reimpose them, and ensure Americans can get their money back.”
