Lauren Boebert, directs the Secretary of the Interior to reissue the final rule published on November 3, 2020, delisting the gray wolf within 60 days of enactment. [...] The bill bars judicial review of the Secretary’s action delisting the wolf. [...] 764 would reinstate was hastily issued by the FWS at the end of the Trump administration to delist gray wolves in 44 states. [...] The court found that the delisting decision improperly relied on two core populations to delist wolves nationally, failed to provide a reasonable interpretation of what constitutes a “significant” portion of the species’ range, ignored the fact that the ancestry of West Coast wolves was distinct from northern Rockies wolves, and did not consider for the impact of lost historical range on gray wolv. [...] The “Trust the Science Act” undermines the integrity of the ESA by forcing the reinstatement of the Trump administration’s scientifically indefensible delisting rule and precluding judicial review, undermining the rule of law that holds government officials accountable in the courts.
