"The Obama-era Clean Water Rule became the law in 26 states [Thursday] as a federal judge in South Carolina issued a nationwide injunction on the Trump administration's delay of the regulation that defines what wetlands and waterways get federal protection.
The injunction targets the Trump administration's February order suspending the rule while EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers worked up a new version.
The Southern Environmental Law Center sued on behalf of several environmental groups, saying the administration rushed the rulemaking and violated the Administrative Procedure Act."
