The Trump Administration announced its intention to rush the land swap involving 2,400 acres of land to hasten the two mile wide open pit mine. \r\n<P><\/P>\r\nA federal judge this month halted the transfer, saying the tribes have a prevailing interest. San Carlos Apache just requested an injunction to stop any movement until the legal issues are settled.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\nAlso, tune in to get perspectives on what needs to be considered if, as President Donald Trump suggests, the federal government moves ahead with re-opening the prison on Alcatraz Island in California.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2021\/02\/15\/cronkite-news-judge-wont-stop-copper-mine-on-sacred-apache-site\/copper-rush\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7583\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" data-attachment-id=\"7583\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2021\/02\/15\/cronkite-news-judge-wont-stop-copper-mine-on-sacred-apache-site\/copper-rush\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/15\/oakflat.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Russ McSpadden&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 8 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Opponents of the Resolution Copper Mine say it will damage land sacred to the San Carlos Apache, and they worry that final environmental approvel has been fast-tracked - something that both the mine and the U.S. Forest Service, which is reviewing the process, deny.
