Supreme Court Takes up Appeal From Trump Administration over Living Conditions for Migrant Farmworkers

On Monday, the Supreme Court agreed to decide whether the Department of Labor has authority to enforce working conditions for foreign farmworkers under the H-2A visa program.
The case stems from Sun Valley Orchards in New Jersey, where the Department of Labor accused the farm of violating conditions for about 96 workers, levying more than $212,000 in penalties.
Lawyers for Sun Valley Orchards argued the department violated Article III of the Constitution, asserting, "There is no precedent or history supporting agency adjudication of such employment-related issues."
The Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the farm, but the Justice Department warns the ruling "deprives the government of an important tool" for ensuring employer compliance.
As the Trump administration seeks to expand the H-2A program, Justices will decide the case later this year, with a decision expected in mid-2027.
