Report Summary
The Department of Justice settled just 15 of the cases referred by the Environmental Protection Agency for civil prosecution in the year since President Trump’s second inauguration. That is far below the 71 concluded during the first full year of the Biden Administration or the 75 concluded during the first full year of President Trump’s first term.
The Trump administration has repeatedly shown that it will not enforce laws that do not serve its interests or that inconvenience its business allies.
