Experts say it will likely give blue states more leeway to attack any forthcoming policy changes from President-elect Donald Trump .

The decision overturns a legal concept called “ Chevron deference,” in place since 1984 and named after a case involving the Chevron oil company.

Now, it could become harder for a Trump administration to deregulate areas of the economy, crack down on immigration.

Congress has not approved a major immigration or environmental law for decades .

The Loper Bright decision went 6-2 in favor of New Jersey herring fishermen who opposed a 2020 federal rule.
