flag California sues Trump administration over federal approval of offshore oil pipelines, citing environmental and state sovereignty concerns.

flag California has sued the Trump administration over its decision to allow Sable Offshore Corp. to restart two offshore oil pipelines near Santa Barbara, arguing that the federal government exceeded its authority by claiming jurisdiction over pipelines that only serve the state. flag The state, citing a 2015 oil spill that released over 140,000 gallons of crude, claims it has regulatory control and that the federal action undermines environmental protections and state sovereignty. flag The lawsuit, filed by Attorney General Rob Bonta, challenges the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's reclassification of the pipelines as interstate and issuance of an emergency permit, which California claims violated state safety regulations. flag The dispute highlights the growing divide between federal energy expansion efforts and California's climate policies.
