A federal judge in Massachusetts has mandated the Trump administration to restore all signs that were altered or removed at national parks across the United States. Judge Angel Kelley issued a 63-page ruling on June 13, 2026, stating that the administration's actions were aimed at promoting a limited historical narrative. Kelley, appointed by President Joe Biden, ordered the restoration to be completed by July 3, 2026, in time for the nation’s 250th birthday, and prohibited any further changes to the exhibits at national parks. The ruling followed a lawsuit filed by a coalition of conservationists and advocates in February, which accused the administration of attempting to erase history and undermine scientific facts. The lawsuit highlighted that at least 45 signs covering topics such as climate change and Native American history were altered under an executive order signed by Trump in March 2025. The ruling has been welcomed by advocates who argue that national parks play a crucial role in educating the public about American history.
