IN LITIGATION

Xu v. Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp.

On August 3, 2026, WLF urged the Seventh Circuit to uphold the dismissal of a civil complaint brought under U.S. law by a foreign national sourced to harms he experienced in a Chinese prison. As WLF’s brief explains, the general rule that federal statutes don’t reach overseas harms applies even in difficult cases.
