We’ve seen dishonest, corrupt and downright stupid administrations in the USA but this is a unique and nasty blend of chaos, destruction, cruelty and bottomless greed.
So, hard working, tax paying immigrants from South America are bad, but corporations from South America that lobby and even bribe U.S. politicians to allow them to rape pristine wilderness are good? Have I got that right?
Since the conservation area borders Canada, maybe lawyers in Canada could issue an injunction against any mining activities on the basis that it would certainly pollute Canadian waters, soil, affect residents on the border, impact the local economy adversely etc and threaten suit for punitive damages against the Trump administration and the mining companies.
If you want your hard-earned donation money put to good use, you can't go wrong with Earthjustice and The Center for Biological Diversity. Those organizations know how to litigate and win.
I am appalled! The mining proposal is faulty, there is now way to assure that the non-US business that will strip resources from the land will not also poison the waterways for future generations. Straight out of a William Kent Krueger novel!

Thank you. This is a tragic situation…😢

We’re not being governed. We’re being looted.
Thanks for this….🤬my fury is going off the charts
Such an abuse of power and influence.

Well, of course. Trump lost Minnesota three times. He wants to punish them and help his donor friend. This is Trump politics. Trump first.
Keep calling your Senators! This isn't done yet! Great coverage as always PD! Keep up the amazing reporting.

Man, such a good read. Informed logical comments also. It’s nice to know people care and are paying attention.
Thank you
Was that Bargamin creek, when a ground hornet got you?
the GOP is all about hypocrisy and making money off our collective murder/suicide. MAGA is a death cult.
I figured the ICE controversy was smoke for something bigger.

That is so well said
