A federal judge on Monday threw out a major Trump administration rule scaling back federal protections for streams, marshes and wetlands across the United States, reversing one of the previous administration’s most significant environmental rollbacks. U.S. District Court Judge Rosemary Márquez wrote that Trump officials committed serious errors while writing the regulation, finalized last year, and leaving it in place could lead to “serious environmental harm.”
