A labor union and two female prison employees filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing a U.S. civil rights agency of unlawfully halting their sexual harassment case as part of wider order to indefinitely suspend proceedings in all federal-sector class claims. The lawsuit claims that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has ordered an indefinite suspension of all federal-sector class complaints pending before the agency’s administrative judges, who handle discrimination complaints from federal workers in process that is different than private sector workers. The women, correctional officers at a Louisiana federal prison, have a pending complaint against the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

The Trump administration is seeking to toss aside a 60-year-old requirement for tens of thousands of private sector employers to submit workforce demographic reports each year to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws in the workplace. The EEOC’s Republican majority voted 2-1 Tuesday to rescind the data collection requirement, marking a quiet but profound salvo in President Donald Trump’s shake up of civil rights enforcement. The proposal will be subject to a 30-day commentary period before final approval.

President Donald Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, declaring that Canada has unfairly discriminated against American autos, alcohol and dairy products. The move, announced Monday, could unleash a new wave of economic chaos, with risks of higher inflation and further fraying of relations between two nations that had been closely woven together before Trump’s return to the White House. The administration official previewing the action said that Canada was one of the only nations other than China that retaliated against Trump’s previous tariffs and must be held accountable.

A group of 26 Meta employees has sued the company, claiming it used artificial intelligence systems that disproportionately targeted those on medical or family leave for layoffs. Meta laid off 8.000 employees, or about 10% of its workforce, in May. The lawsuit filed late Monday in federal court in Oakland, California, claims the company used internal AI systems, keystroke and activity-monitoring data, AI token-usage dashboards and other methods to determine who would be laid off. The lawsuit says that people on protected medical or family leave were disproportionately selected for layoffs.
