Trump admin to ditch environmental justice FOIA reg
The EPA is revoking expedited processing for environmental justice FOIA requests, aligning with the Trump administration’s broader elimination of DEI and environmental equity programs. This decision restricts marginalized communities’ ability to access records related to pollution and health impacts, effectively limiting public oversight. The move is significant for open data because it removes a critical mechanism for disadvantaged groups to obtain government transparency regarding environmental hazards, hindering accountability and equitable data access.
