A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore historical exhibits at national parks that were altered under an executive order. The ruling pauses further changes and requires weekly progress reports.
- Judge Angel Kelley issued a preliminary injunction on June 13, 2026. - The administration has 21 days to restore removed or altered materials at NPS sites.
- Changes included removing exhibits on slavery at Independence National Historical Park and a Pride flag image at Sunset Crater. - Plaintiffs include the National Parks Conservation Association and the Association of National Park Rangers.
The decision is seen as a victory for preserving accurate and inclusive historical narratives in public spaces.
