Supreme Court's Loper Bright Decision Upends Administrative Law Landscape

On September 18, 2026, the US Supreme Court issued its decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, effectively eliminating Chevron deference in administrative law.

This change gives federal courts the final say over the meaning of statutes administered by federal agencies.

The decision was a direct result of the court's ruling in 2024 that redefined the relationship between federal courts and government agencies.

The impact of this shift is still being felt, particularly in the area of immigration law, where the court's decision has given more power to judges to interpret laws and set precedents.
