Trump administration halts environmental lawsuits, reassigns attorneys to immigration cases.

The Trump administration has halted all pending environmental lawsuits and legal briefs, and reassigned four senior Justice Department attorneys specializing in environmental issues to focus on immigration cases related to "sanctuary cities." This move affects the Environment and Natural Resources Division, which handles cases on pollution, animal welfare, and public safety. Four employees focusing on environmental justice were also put on administrative leave. These actions reflect the administration's goal to reshape federal priorities on environmental and civil rights issues.
