Officers stood shoulder-to-shoulder on several streets while others created a makeshift fence with their bicycles, using it to push dozens of protesters back away from the center of the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” zone just east of downtown. “Events in the Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone this morning, while necessary, should not diminish the cause of racial justice,” Gov. Seattle Black Collective Voice, which was formed by people in the protest zone, said previously that their work would continue even if they were forced out of that area.

The state's waiver under the Clean Air Act allowed it to set standards tighter than the federal standards, which have been adopted by more than a dozen states and became the de-facto nationwide standard, because automakers do not design different sets of vehicles to meet different standards in different states. Among other things, the states argue that the move by the administration would infringe on their authority and interfere with their ability to "to address greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollution." The plaintiffs also claim that the move would cause an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, thus interfering with their ability "to meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets or mandates." "The increased emissions will also contribute to and exacerbate the ongoing and future impacts of climate change in" the states and cities, the lawsuit states.
