The Endangered Species Act has never been enacted into positive law, which applies within the states and to all Citizens. Title 1 USC, Section 204 (notes) states Title 16 has never been enacted into ‘positive’ law. 28 USC Section 1603 defines “United States” as it only applies where the United States has been ceded jurisdiction by the sovereign states, of which New Mexico is a sovereign state. New Mexico has not ceded state sovereignty to the United States.
The Endangered Species Act has not been made into positive law. The ESA only applies with in the United States as defined by 28 USC Section 1603. Unless the ESA or defined expansion of federal authority and jurisdiction are enumerated by Artile 1 Section 8, the ESA does not apply to the sovereigns of New Mexico. Below are the USC, CFR, and Congressional acts that define the United States, the jurisdiction of the United States and the mission and authority of the U.S. Forest Service.

Title 16: Commercial Practices
PART 0—ORGANIZATION
§ 0.5 Laws authorizing monetary claims.
The Commission is authorized to entertain monetary claims against it under three statutes. The Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 2671–2680) provides that the United States will be liable for injury or loss of property or personal injury or death caused by the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of its employees acting within the scope of their employment or office. The Military Personnel and Civilian Employees Claims Act of 1964 (31 U.S.C. 3701, 3721) authorizes the Commission to compensate employees’ claims for damage to or loss of personal property incident to their service. The Equal Access to Justice Act (5 U.S.C. 504 and 28 U.S.C. 2412) provides that an eligible prevailing party other than the United States will be awarded fees and expenses incurred in connection with any adversary adjudicative and court proceeding, unless the adjudicative officer finds that the agency was substantially justified or that special circumstances make an award unjust. In addition, eligible parties, including certain small businesses, will be awarded fees and expenses incurred in defending against an agency demand that is substantially in excess of the final decision of the adjudicative officer and is unreasonable when compared with such decision under the facts and circumstances of the case, unless the adjudicative officer finds that the party has committed a willful violation of law or otherwise acted in bad faith, or special circumstances make an award unjust. Questions may be addressed to the Office of the General Counsel, (202) 326–2462.
