lvgaldieri<p><strong>Here’s the Deputy Secretary of the Interior Doing the Bidding of a Foreign Mining Company</strong></p> <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2025-07-17-memo-reinstating-m-37049.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2025-07-17-memo-reinstating-m-37049</a><a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2025-07-17-memo-reinstating-m-37049.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <p>On the very same day that the DC District Court of Appeals issued its <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/2025/07/17/doug-burgum-now-has-90-days-to-hand-over-the-boundary-waters-to-a-foreign-mining-company/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">per curiam opinion putting the Boundary Waters litigation on hold</a> for 90 days, Deputy Secretary of the Interior Kate MacGregor issued this memo, re-instating the Jorjani M-Opinion. </p><p>That legal opinion misconstrues history, suppresses evidence, and twists logic to say that Twin Metals has a “non-discretionary” right to renewal of its mining leases on the edge of the Boundary Waters: put crudely, it says that a foreign mining company has more discretion than the United States government over the disposition of federal lands. The US government capitulates and cedes decision-making authority to a foreign conglomerate.</p><p>This is the very same legal opinion that led the agencies into a <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/2021/05/22/federal-agencies-need-to-deliver-themselves-from-the-legal-and-ethical-morass-trump-and-his-cronies-left-them-in/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">legal and ethical morass</a> during Trump’s first term. (For context, follow this <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/?s=jorjani+" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">link</a>; it will bring up about four pages of results. For some discussion of the legal opinion, see <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/2019/02/22/the-architect-of-the-boundary-waters-reversal/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this</a>, <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/2020/08/23/selective-evidence-and-the-office-of-the-solicitor/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this</a>, and <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/2019/10/25/on-the-boundary-waters-top-interior-department-lawyer-gets-the-historical-record-wrong/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this</a>, at least for starters. The Jorjani M-Opinion was also one focus of my Boundary Waters FOIA litigation. Those public records are posted <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/projects/200471-boundary-waters-foia/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>.) It feels like we’re caught in a time warp, or some kind of loop.</p><p>We are returning to status quo ante, or at least ante Biden. Antofagasta obviously did not like its chances in the DC District Court, and with Doug Burgum’s help it managed to put the litigation on hold. Pete Stauber failed to sneak non-reviewable lease renewals for the Chilean company into the latest budget. But the mining company and its lobbyists were able to pull strings at Interior. Now they will have to undo, or find a way to work around, the twenty-year moratorium on sulfide mining in the Rainy River watershed put in place by the Biden administration.</p> <p>Type your email…</p><p>Subscribe</p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/anto/" target="_blank">#ANTO</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/authority/" target="_blank">#authority</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/corruption/" target="_blank">#corruption</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/cronyism/" target="_blank">#cronyism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/doug-burgum/" target="_blank">#DougBurgum</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/foia/" target="_blank">#FOIA</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/government-capture/" target="_blank">#governmentCapture</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/kate-macgregor/" target="_blank">#KateMacGregor</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/kleptocracy/" target="_blank">#kleptocracy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/rainy-river-watershed/" target="_blank">#RainyRiverWatershed</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/selective-evidence/" target="_blank">#selectiveEvidence</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/water/" target="_blank">#Water</a></p>
