Indigenous community leaders protest Trump proposal to remove drilling ban

Indigenous community leaders, including Diné allotment shareholders, protest the Trump administration's proposal to revoke a 2023 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) order banning oil and gas drilling near New Mexico's Chaco Culture National Historical Park. The BLM is reviewing public comments on the proposal, which aims to restore mineral leasing discretion to facilitate development under a 2025 Trump executive order.
