#Biden said this plant was a #health threat. #Trump dropped a lawsuit against it
The #DOJ on Friday dropped a landmark lawsuit alleging that #cancer-causing #pollution from a Louisiana #petrochemical plant poses an imminent danger to nearby communities.
The lawsuit alleged that the #Denka Performance Elastomer plant in #LaPlace, Louisiana, threatened local residents by releasing unsafe levels of the #toxic chemical #chloroprene.

The #EPA considers chloroprene — which is used to make synthetic rubber — a likely #carcinogen, & the suit sought to compel the plant to curb these #emissions.
#Trump officials’ decision to abandon the case has prompted alarm from #environmental & #PublicHealth advocates. They warn that the plant’s continued operations could harm the health of thousands of residents, including hundreds of young #children who are especially vulnerable to carcinogens.

Targeting “DEI” means killing kids of color. Period. These are racists with blatantly racist policies.
