Conservation groups and a Native American tribe from the Rio Grande Valley have filed a lawsuit against the federal government to block SpaceX from acquiring protected land in Cameron County. The suit, submitted in Washington, D.C., by Save RGV, the South Texas Environmental Justice Network, and others, claims the proposed land swap violates several federal laws. SpaceX aims to exchange 715 acres from the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge for 683 acres it owns. The lawsuit highlights concerns over environmental impacts, including habitat degradation and public access issues. A hearing date for the case has yet to be determined.
