Overnight Energy: Dakota Access to ask Supreme Court to hear pipeline case | Biden admin sued over rejection of Mount Rushmore fireworks | Interior appoints first Native American chief of staff

ADVERTISEMENT South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Friday sued the Biden administration over its decision not to allow Independence Day fireworks at Mount Rushmore this year. Mount Rushmore is the very best place to celebrate America’s birthday and all that makes our country special, Noem said in a statement announcing the suit. We are asking the court to enjoin the Department of Interior’s (DOI) denial of the fireworks permit and order it to issue a permit for the event expeditiously. An Interior Department spokesperson declined to comment on the lawsuit. The story so far: The Hill first reported in March that the National Park Service (NPS) had rejected the state’s request to hold fireworks at the national memorial, citing health risks, including those associated with the coronavirus pandemic, and opposition from Native American tribes.
