PHOENIX (AP) — A Native American group that’s trying to stop an effort to build one of the largest copper mines in the United States told a full federal appeals court panel Tuesday that the project would prevent Apaches from exercising their religion by destroying land they consider sacred. U.S. federal government plans for a land swap that will allow Resolution Copper to build the mine will destroy the land in eastern Arizona known as Oak Flat, “barring the Apaches from ever accessing it again and ending their core religious practices forever,” said attorney Luke Goodrich, arguing for the group Apache Stronghold. “We asked the court today to recognize the obvious — that when the government destroys a sacred site, religious liberty law has something to say about it,” Goodrich, vice president and senior counsel at the nonprofit legal institution Becket Law, said in a prepared statement distributed after the hearing in Pasadena, California. “A win for Apache Stronghold wil...

The threat of a trade war with Europe would not give the British government cause to overrule unionist objections to future EU trade laws in Northern Ireland, a senior U.K. minister has pledged.Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris made the commitment Tuesday to the Commons EU scrutiny committee, on the eve of a parliamentary vote to approve regulations governing the so-called Stormont Brake.The “brake” is a key part of the Windsor Framework, the wider U.K.-EU agreement on making post-Brexit trade rules work in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland remains the only part of the U.K. still bound to EU goods regulations. The new laws published Monday offer unionists in the Northern Ireland Assembly the power to object to future EU laws governing goods standards — but also gives London ill-defined wiggle room to disregard such a unionist petition if U.K. ministers cite “exceptional circumstances.”Democratic Unionist MP Gavin Robinson told Heaton-Harris the Stormont Brake was there...
