In response, the FIGR maintained that the federal government’s arguments regarding standing and final agency action were flawed. The tribe presented supporting declarations, asserting that it has standing and that a final agency action has already occurred. The tribe also argued that failure to block the project would lead to irreversible damage to sacred lands and cultural practices.
The case is ongoing, and the court has yet to issue a ruling on the tribe’s motion for a temporary restraining order.
