Trump’s E.P.A. Filing Fewer Lawsuits Against Polluters

The article discusses the decline in the number of lawsuits filed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) against polluters under the Trump administration compared to the Biden administration. According to the article, the Trump EPA filed 11 civil cases against polluters in its first six months, while the Biden administration's EPA has filed 30 such cases during the same period. This suggests a significant decrease in the EPA's enforcement of environmental regulations under the Trump administration. The article notes that the reduced enforcement of environmental laws could have implications for the agency's ability to hold polluters accountable and protect public health and the environment. It also highlights the shift in priorities and enforcement strategies between the two administrations when it comes to environmental protection.
