Federal judge orders Trump administration to restore National Park exhibits removed under executive order.
U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley issued a preliminary injunction on June 12, 2026, ordering the Trump administration to restore exhibits and materials removed from national parks following a March 2025 executive order titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History." The ruling requires restoration by July 3, 2026, ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary, and blocks further removals. The lawsuit was filed by conservation and historical organizations in February 2026.
