Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
In an action against Internet travel companies such as Hotels.com, Priceline.com, and Travelocity.com, claiming that they failed to calculate and remit hotel occupancy taxes in violation of a city ordinance, dismissal of the complaint is affirmed in part where plaintiff-city failed to assess the tax as required by the ordinance.
