House Democrats have filed an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit against the Department of the Interior over its decision to replace a Glacier National Park photo on America the Beautiful passes with a portrait of President Trump. - The brief argues the move violates the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act of 2004, which mandates the passes feature winners of an annual photo competition.
- Reps. Huffman and Jayapal criticized the decision as self-promotion and politicization of national parks.
- The case, Center for Biological Diversity v. Burgum, seeks to block the change.
The lawsuit highlights ongoing tensions over the use of public lands for political purposes.
