A federal judge issued a temporary order late Wednesday blocking a Trump administration attempt to overturn California’s clean car regulations via Congressional action. The ruling by Judge Beryl Howell halts the administration's efforts to bypass existing environmental standards through legislative channels.

The move represents a significant procedural setback for the administration's environmental policy agenda.
