California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration, challenging the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA) orders that assert exclusive jurisdiction over two California onshore oil pipelines, known as the Las Flores Pipelines.
The lawsuit, filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, contests PHMSA's orders to federalize the pipelines, approve Sable Offshore Corp.'s Restart Plan, and issue an emergency permit for oil transport.
Bonta argues that these actions violate the Administrative Procedure Act.
"In its latest unlawful power grab, the Trump Administration is illegally claiming exclusive federal authority over two of California's onshore pipelines," Bonta said.
