Rep. Jared Huffman has opened an investigation into the Trump administration's scheme to divert water from Northern California's Eel River to a Southern California water district.
- Huffman sent letters to Agriculture Secretary Rollins and Interior Secretary Burgum demanding records. - The plan involves the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District acquiring dams and water rights on the Eel River.
- Huffman warns the proposal revives failed diversion schemes and threatens local communities, tribes, and farms. The investigation seeks transparency on meetings, financing, and potential connections to state water projects.
