   OAKLAND - California Attorney General Bonta today issued a statement   
   after a judge granted California's request for dismissal to allow it to   
   appeal its case challenging the Trump Administration's illegal tariffs   
   following a hearing last week. The hearing centered around the Trump   
   Administration's motion asking that the case be transferred to the Court   
   of International Trade - a motion that California opposed. Rather than   
   transferring the case to the Court of International Trade, California   
   asked the judge to dismiss the case for the purpose of seeking appellate   
   review of the question about where this case should be brought. The   
   dismissal today keeps the case in California and allows California to   
   appeal to the Ninth Circuit, which it plans to do immediately.   
      
   "Today, our lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration's disastrous   
   and illegal tariffs was allowed to remain in California pending our   
   incoming appeal. We strongly believe this case belongs in federal   
   district court and are pleased the court considered our wishes in   
   dismissing this case so we have the opportunity to seek review. Our   
   argument is straightforward: Trump doesn't have the authority to impose   
   these destructive tariffs - the International Emergency Economic Powers   
   Act simply does not authorize tariffs," said Attorney General Bonta. "We   
   remain confident in the strength of our case and look forward to   
   continuing to fight for California's vibrant economy, businesses,   
   workers, and families."   
      
   On April 16, Attorney General Bonta and Governor Newsom filed a lawsuit   
   challenging President Trump's unlawful use of power to impose tariffs   
   without the consent of Congress. Attorney General Bonta and Governor   
   Newsom also filed an amicus brief in the Court of International Trade in   
   Oregon v. Trump, a case challenging President Trump's illegal imposition   
   of tariffs. The tariffs challenged under California's current lawsuit   
   are projected to cost California consumers $25 billion dollars and   
   result in the loss of over 64,000 jobs. The totality of the Trump   
   Administration's tariff regime is expected to cost households   
   approximately $40 billion.
