Washington, February 26 (RHC)-- Farmworker and environmental groups are suing the Trump administration over its removal of climate change-related information on the USDA’s website.
The lawsuit accuses the USDA -- the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- of harming farmers’ livelihoods by deliberately withholding crucial information on federal loans, conservation practices and climate adaptation strategies.
Earthjustice, one of the legal groups that filed the lawsuit, says its outcome could have major implications across all federal agencies. Trump’s White House removed over 8,000 government web pages since coming to power.
