GOP lawmakers urge Trump administration to back Falun Gong lawsuit against Cisco
October 30, 2025
Two prominent Republicans are urging the Supreme Court to allow a lawsuit against Cisco. The lawsuit claims Cisco’s technology was used to persecute Falun Gong members in China. Representatives Christopher Smith and John Moolenaar have asked the Trump administration’s top Supreme Court litigator to support the case going to trial. The Supreme Court will decide whether U.S. law permits the suit. The case questions if American companies can be held liable for aiding human rights violations abroad. If successful, it could set a precedent for holding companies accountable for the misuse of their technologies overseas.
