A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore signs related to climate change, slavery, and Indigenous history at national parks. The signs were removed under an executive order to purge language that allegedly cast America in a negative light.
The order, issued by U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley, requires the Trump administration to reinstate all language removed under the order before the Fourth of July. The judge accused the Trump administration of seeking to rewrite the nation's history.
The ruling is a response to a lawsuit filed by a coalition of conservation and historical groups, who argued that the order was erasing American history and science. The Trump administration has dismissed the ruling as the work of a 'liberal activist judge' and is considering appeal options.
