| 摘要： | A federal judge in North Dakota has blocked the Biden administration's new definition of "Waters of the United States" (WOTUS) from taking effect in 24 states. Judge Daniel Hovland of the District of North Dakota issued his ruling April 12, granting 24 states who sued the Environmental Protection Agency over the rule in February a preliminary injunction on Wednesday after finding they have "persuasively shown that the new 2023 rule poses a threat to their sovereign rights and amounts to irreparable harm." The North Dakota injunction follows a bill by Congress to overturn the rule, which Biden vetoed on April 6. The Biden administration's rule took effect March 20; the complaint was filed February 16. U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown had already invalidated the Biden rule in Texas and Idaho, in Texas v. EPA, after finding they are likely to successfully challenge the rule's imposition of Clean Water Act jurisdiction over all interstate waters regardless of navigability. |
