A federal court has issued a preliminary injunction stopping the Trump-Vance administration from censoring history and science in national parks, ordering the restoration of removed exhibits. The ruling comes in response to a coalition lawsuit challenging a policy that erased displays on slavery, civil rights, Indigenous peoples, and climate science.
- The court order requires the government to restore altered or removed interpretive materials within three weeks. - The injunction blocks further censorship under the Interior Department's policy while litigation continues.
- The coalition includes the National Parks Conservation Association, American Association for State and Local History, and Union of Concerned Scientists. The ruling affirms that national parks must present a full and honest account of American history, free from political interference.
