Louisiana federal judge permanently blocks EPA from using Civil Rights Act for environmental justice in the state.
A federal judge in Louisiana has permanently blocked the EPA from using Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to combat environmental injustices in the state, ruling that the federal civil rights law does not allow the agency to consider cumulative or "disparate" environmental harms.
The judge's ruling, which makes permanent a preliminary injunction issued in January, prevents the EPA from enforcing civil rights protections against entities in Louisiana and requires no compliance with those standards as a condition for federal financial assistance.
