President Trump, Secretary Rollins, and ….

President Trump, Secretary Rollins, and Administrator Loeffler, those days of bureaucratic neglect are over. This Memorandum of Understanding will help shield America’s producers from senseless red tape and litigation. We look forward to continuing this vital partnership and laying the groundwork for a healthy, robust industry for generations to come,' said Rep. Crane (AZ-

02).

“Lawfare has put undue pressure on family operations for decades. President Trump and his administration took immediate action to put an end to the zealous litigation threatening those who provide our food and fuel. I appreciate President Trump and Secretary Rollins providing new avenues for the working man and woman to fight back against the bureaucratic machine and seek relief from weaponized government,” said Rep. Hageman (WY-at large).

“Ranchers and permittees are essential partners in sustaining healthy public rangelands, and the Bureau of Land Management’s work starts with listening to the people who steward these landscapes every day. The USDA Lawfare Portal has become a valuable tool in that effort, enabling us to hear directly from ranchers and address concerns promptly. This is what real partnership looks like: listening closely, responding quickly, and finding practical ways to support working lands and the people that depend upon them,” said Bureau of Land Management director Stevan Pearce.

The MOU formalizes collaboration between USDA and SBA's Office of the National Ombudsman. It enables the resolution of complaints involving other federal regulatory agencies submitted through the USDA Lawfare Portal - in addition to analyzing resulting data to identify patterns for potential deregulation and accountability.

This initiative strengthens the Administration’s commitment to fairness and ensures that no farmer, rancher, or small-business owner stands alone against abusive or disproportionate enforcement practices.
