Chevron USA Inc. v. Plaquemines Parish · ¶59

Understood in the context of its statutory and legislative history, § 1442(a)(1) requires a causal nexus between the targeted conduct and the federal duties, as I explain below. Chevron satisfes the causal-nexus requirement on the facts presented here, so I agree that the Fifth Circuit's ruling must be vacated. I therefore respectfully concur only in the majority's judgment.
