Supreme Court weighs environmental challenge over Guam munition detonations
Original: Supreme Court grapples with environmental challenge to Air Force's Guam munition detonations
The US Supreme Court heard arguments in a case challenging the Air Force's practice of detonating old munitions on Guam. Residents and environmental groups argue the open-air burnings release toxic chemicals, harming health and land on the Pacific island, and are pressing claims under federal environmental law.
Why now: The justices are considering a major environmental and military accountability case with implications for communities near US bases.
