The Trump administration has demanded the resignation of Maria-Elena Giner, who oversees the International Boundary and Water Commission, without providing a reason for the request. This comes amid criticisms regarding sewage pollution flowing from Mexico into California. Giner, who was appointed by President Biden, stated that she was simply informed that the administration preferred a different individual for the role. The Commission is paramount in dealing with U.S.-Mexico water conflicts, especially concerning the overburdened Colorado River treaty and its implications for communities affected by pollution.
