A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore disputed left-wing exhibits across national parks amid an ongoing legal battle over history.
The content removed by the administration was installed during the Biden years and focused heavily on revisionist left-wing ideology, reports noted. U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley of Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction earlier this month ordering the Trump administration to restore the exhibits and halt any additional removals while the legal challenge proceeds. Kelley, who was appointed to the federal bench by former President Joe Biden in 2021, ruled that the administration must reverse the changes pending further court proceedings. The decision comes as the nation marks the America 250 celebration, which is scheduled to culminate with Independence Day events on July 4.
The Interior Department in a statement called Kelley a “liberal activist judge” and said it was reviewing its options to appeal its removal of what Secretary Doug Burgum criticized as “improper partisan ideology.” “This ruling is from a liberal activist judge,” an Interior spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “The Department will look at our appeal options while we celebrate UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House this weekend in honor of our nation’s 250th with the greatest president in the history of our country – President Donald J. Trump,” the spokesperson added.
