TL;DR Summary

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of New Jersey's bid to exit the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor, a police agency created to tackle corruption at the New York-New Jersey container port. The unanimous decision effectively ends the agency, which was created in 1953. New Jersey has long sought to reform or leave the commission, arguing it adds bureaucracy and holds up hiring. New York sued to block New Jersey's exit, arguing the agency is still needed because corruption still exists.
