The U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Texas denied a national preliminary injunction that would have halted the Biden administration’s Waters of the United States rule from taking effect. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Chief Council Mary Thomas-Hart was disappointed in the ruling. They had hoped for an injunction until the Supreme Court issues it’s opinion in the Sackett v. EPA case. “Unfortunately, the court did not listen to us, did not grant a nationwide injunction, only granted an injunction for Texas and Idaho and for the other 48 states, the Biden WOTUS Rule will go into effect today,” said Thomas-Hart. “The biggest issue with the Biden WOTUS Rule is that it fails to clearly define which features are in and which are out.” Find the full interview with Mary Thomas here.
