News Alert: EPA tells California it is ‘failing to meet its obligations’ to stem pollution, escalating Trump administration’s battle with state

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler's letter to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) blames part of the state's water pollution on its homelessness problem. In the past month, the administration has moved to revoke the state's long-standing authority to limit air pollution from cars, began investigating an agreement with four automakers for possible antitrust violations and threatened to withhold federal highway funds if California does not do more to clean up its air. Newsom has accused President Trump of "weaponizing" the federal government to single out the state for political reasons.
