Environmental groups filed a lawsuit on June 10, 2026, seeking to prevent the Trump administration from transferring over 700 acres of wildlife refuge land in Texas to SpaceX. The groups argue that the land exchange would increase ecological risks in a Gulf Coast area already impacted by SpaceX's rocket operations. The US Fish and Wildlife Service recently approved the deal, which involves SpaceX giving up 683 acres of its own land in exchange for federal land within the Lower Rio Grande Valley national wildlife refuge, a 103,000-acre area that provides habitats for various species and contains historical landmarks.
