Trump's Portrait on Park Pass: Legal Battle Ensues
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Environmental advocates have sued the Interior Department over the Trump administrations decision to feature his portrait on the 2026 America the Beautiful national park pass, arguing it violates federal law and politicizes the national parks. The Center for Biological Diversity claims the move is a violation of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act of 2004, which requires the pass to feature a photo chosen through an annual public contest. The lawsuit also alleges that creating separate resident and nonresident pass categories is explicitly forbidden by the act. The Interior Department defends the changes as part of a modernization and America first effort, introducing higher fees for nonresident visitors.
