The Trump EPA is spotlighting its crackdown on polluters, which former officials say should be credited to the Biden administration.
EPA released its annual enforcement report for fiscal 2025 on Monday. The agency study takes a celebratory tone for record results, standing in stark contrast to environmental groups’ findings earlier this year of historic downturn in enforcement during the Trump administration.
“The results show that when we focus on swiftly addressing clear violations within the bounds of the law, we more efficiently achieve better enforcement and compliance,” said Jeffrey Hall, assistant administrator of EPA’s enforcement office, in a statement.
Hall added: “We will be accountable to the American people for our promises. EPA’s enforcement and compliance assurance program will accomplish even more of our goals in the years ahead.”
