A federal judge in Louisiana has granted a preliminary injunction that stops implementation of the Biden administration s pause on drilling permits on federal lands.
The president signed an executive order earlier this year to pause new leases for oil and gas drilling on federal land and water.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty heard arguments from 13 states, including Louisiana, who are suing over the moratorium as well as the Department of Justice and environmental groups who support it.
