On May 26, 2026, the Center for Constitutional Rights submitted a public comment asking the Federal Energy Commission to deny a certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of an interstate natural gas transmission pipeline, the Kosciusko Junction Pipeline Project (or “KJPP”) to Gulf South Pipeline Company, LLC and Texas Gas Transmission, LLC, subsidiaries of Boardwalk Pipeline, LP. The Center for Constitutional Rights' opposition is based on the extensive health and environmental risks that the pipeline poses to the physical and mental well-being of local Black community members throughout the nine Mississippi counties through which the KJPP will run.

From the letter: "Mississippi is not a sacrifice zone for corporate pipeline profit on the backs of Black and other vulnerable Mississippians. These communities should not be forced by the government to bear the lion’s share of risk for the profit of private corporations when there are cleaner and safer energy sources available. We therefore urge FERC to deny approval of this project, ensuring this is not another instance of industry interests prevailing over community interests, health, and wellbeing."
