Issa Praises EPA's Breakthrough Agreement to End Tijuana River Sewage Crisis

July 25, 2025 Press Release “The Tijuana River sewage crisis has not only plagued our region for generations, it has also proved resistant to reform and grown worse over time. “Now a breakthrough has occurred. The Trump Administration and its Environmental Protection Agency took immediate steps upon taking office and worked with my office and regional partners to launch reform initiatives and engage the Mexican government. Most of all, they refused to accept the failed status quo and have turned decades of inaction into a durable solution that is built to last. “I congratulate my friend and longtime colleague Administrator Zeldin and his team for insisting this could be done and delivering lasting change in record time.” ### Issues : Energy and the Environment
