Judge Will Not Block Land Exchange Granting SpaceX Several Acres in Texas
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A federal judge has ruled against blocking a land swap that would grant SpaceX over 280 hectares (700 acres) of wildlife refuge in Texas. Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. denied a request for a preliminary injunction from environmental groups, stating they failed to prove that the swap would worsen ecological risks in an already impacted Gulf Coast area. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approved the deal in June, allowing SpaceX to exchange 276 hectares (683 acres) of its own land for federal land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Opponents, including tribal groups, plan to continue their legal fight.
