A U.S. District Court ruling permanently blocks the EPA and DOJ from using Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to influence Louisiana’s regulation of polluting facilities, effectively allowing companies to pollute predominantly Black and Latinx communities. EarthJustice, an environmental law organization, criticized the decision, stating it grants companies free rein to harm these communities. The EPA and DOJ have expressed their intent to continue enforcing civil rights law while complying with the court's order. https://lnkd.in/g6ejZifi

Salazar explain what this means for environmental law, as well as other agency practices, at the link in the comments.

Interesting to see the changes that were suggested in dicta ten years ago become law, curious to see where administrative law goes next.
The United States Supreme Court's June 28 ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo abolished the long-standing "Chevron Doctrine" under which courts were required to defer to "permissible" agency interpretations of the statutes those agencies administer.
