California’s beloved condors and sea otters have rebounded from the brink of extinction thanks to the Endangered Species Act.

Attorney General Rob Bonta filed the suits with a coalition of 21 attorneys general, adding to dozens California has already filed to combat the Trump administration’s deregulatory agenda.
