A group of Native Americans are pleased government leaders have pushed back against a rule imposed by former President Joe Biden (D) regarding development in a wildlife refuge in Alaska.
The issue surrounds the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), Fox News reported Saturday.
That area is where Biden worked to choke an oil and gas lease sale before he left the White House and President Donald Trump took over following his victory in November 2024, according to Breitbart News.
Fox reported:
Using the Congressional Review Act, the Senate voted Thursday night to pass a resolution from Rep. Nick Begich, R-Alaska, that formally reversed a Biden-era rule restricting more than 1 million acres to development in the refuge, where Native communities like Kaktovik reside.
Democrats have been concerned about potential harms to Alaskan communities if access to the ANWR was expanded for more energy development, the Fox article said.
