Good. The U.S. government took money illegally; of course they should have to give it back.Not good news for those in favour of Tariffs today in the US.
Trade court orders tariff refunds in setback for Trump administration
A federal judge has cleared the way for thousands of businesses to receive refunds for tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down last month.
The US Court of International Trade on Wednesday ordered Customs and Border Protection to issue refunds for levies US President Donald Trump introduced last year under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
"All importers of record whose entries were subject to IEEPA duties are entitled to the benefit" from the high court's ruling, Judge Richard Eaton wrote.
The payment process remains murky. But the trade court decision marks a setback for Trump, who has moved to replace the import taxes and bemoaned the prospect of refunds.

The trade court ordered all tariffs be repaid to everyone who paid them. That does not leave much space for further litigation unless consumers start going after retailers.

What if a government illegally violates the rights of thousands of it's citizens? Is there any path to indemnify those harmed?

The illegal enactment of the EA. Granted this is irrelevant to this thread and I don't expect a tangent. Just curious if some measure exists to hold our government accountable like in the US.
