DOJ sues California to end enforcement of emissions standards for trucks
The U.S. Department of Justice said on Friday it has sued California in a bid to end the state's enforcement of emissions standards for trucks. The DOJ said it filed two complaints this week in federal courts against the California Air Resources Board on the state's enforcement of preempted emissions standards through its so-called "Clean Truck Partnership" with heavy-duty truck and engine manufacturers. "These actions advance President Donald J. Trump's commitment to end the electric vehicle (EV) mandate, level the regulatory playing field, and promote consumer choice in motor vehicles," it said in a statement. Earlier this week, four major truckmakers, including Daimler and Volvo, also sued the state to block it from enforcing the strict emissions standards Trump declared void in June. Trump, a Republican, is trying to curb California's power under the federal Cean Air Act to set tighter pollution limits than federal law requires, and Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom's ability to promote electric vehicles to fight climate change. "President Donald Trump and Congress have invalidated the Clean Air Act waivers that were the basis for California's actions. CARB must respect the democratic process and stop enforcing unlawful standards," said Adam Gustafson, the DOJ's acting assistant attorney general for the Environment and Natural Resources Division.

Mexico, under pressure from Trump, sends 26 cartel members to US
MEXICO CITY, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Mexico sent more than two dozen suspected cartel members to the U.S. on Tuesday, amid rising pressure from President Donald Trump on Mexico to dismantle the country's powerful drug organizations. Authorities shipped 26 prisoners wanted in the U.S. for ties to drug-trafficking groups, Mexico's attorney general's office and security ministry said in a joint statement. Mexico said the U.S. Department of Justice had requested their extradition and that it would not seek the death penalty for the accused cartel members. The transfer is the second of its kind this year. In February, Mexican authorities sent 29 alleged cartel leaders to the U.S., sparking a debate about the political and legal grounds for such a move. More: State Department updates Mexico travel advisory for Americans That Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum permitted yet another large-scale extradition of Mexican nationals underscores the balancing act she faces as she seeks to appease Trump while also avoiding unilateral U.S. military action in Mexico. In a statement, the U.S. Embassy said among those extradited were key figures in the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the Sinaloa Cartel, which are Mexico's two dominant organized crime groups. 'This transfer is yet another example of what is possible when two governments unite against violence and impunity," U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson said in a statement. "These fugitives will now face justice in American courts, and the citizens of both our nations will be safer.' More: Mexican President rules out Trump's reported military plan against Mexico's drug cartels Trump has tied tariffs on Mexico to the deadly fentanyl trade, claiming the country hasn't tackled drug cartels aggressively enough. Last week, he directed the Pentagon to prepare operations against Mexican drug gangs that have been designated global terrorist organizations. Sheinbaum has said the U.S. and Mexico are nearing a security agreement to expand cooperation in the fight against cartels. But she has flatly rejected suggestions by the Trump administration that it could carry out unilateral military operations in Mexico.
