21 US States Sue Trump Admin Over Endangered Species Act Rollback

California and 20 other states filed two federal lawsuits challenging the Trump administration's rollback of the 1973 Endangered Species Act, which would open protected habitats to mining, logging, and development. The legal action seeks to preserve protections for over 1,600 species. This is a state-level legal challenge to federal environmental deregulation, with uncertain immediate market impact.
