Updated June 16, 2026 12:30PMThere’s a new wrinkle in the Trump Administration’s efforts to remove historical signs and placards at National Park Service (NPS) sites deemed to “disparage Americans past or living.”On June 12, a U.S. District Judge ruled that the federal government must cease removing these signs and restore those previously removed by July 4.
