- Complaint filed — Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services v. Donald Trump — Environmental non-profit organizations filed a complaint in D.D.C. challenging a July 17 Trump administration Proclamation that exempted 50 chemical manufacturing plants from Clean Air Act requirements to monitor and control emissions of hazardous air pollutants for two years. Plaintiffs allege the Proclamation is unlawful because it issues blanket exemptions without facility-, standard-, or technology-specific findings, misreads "technology" and "national security," and functions as a de facto amendment of EPA's rule. Plaintiffs seek declaratory relief and an injunction prohibiting EPA implementation.
