IN LITIGATION

Department of Labor v. Sun Valley Orchards, LLC

On August 3, 2026, WLF urged the Supreme Court to affirm a lower-court decision rejecting the Department of Labor’s in-house adjudication of disputed monetary penalties arising under the H-2A guest-worker program. WLF argues that Congress never authorized the Department to serve as both prosecutor and judge in enforcement actions for civil penalties.
