Trump's changes to history at national parks must be undone, judge rules [View all]

President Trump's effort to rewrite the past at the country's museums, parks and landmarks was struck down on Friday, with a federal judge calling for the administration to restore changes already made at locations nationwide.

The preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts also orders a pause on any additional changes, writing that the plaintiffs have shown these efforts are meant "to rewrite the Nation's history with a white-out pen."

"Under the guise of promoting American dignity, this Administration seeks to share a limited history by ordering the removal of all signs, displays, and interpretive exhibits at National Parks that do not align with its preferred narrative, thereby telling half-truths," Kelley wrote.

The Trump administration issued an executive order, entitled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," in March 2025 ordering national parks to not display elements that "inappropriately disparage Americans past or living."
