Trump's Portrait on Park Pass: Legal Battle Ensues
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Environmental advocates have filed a lawsuit against the Interior Department, alleging that the Trump administration violated federal law by featuring former President Donald Trumps portrait on the redesigned 2026 America the Beautiful national park pass. The lawsuit argues that this action contradicts the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act of 2004 and the rules for selecting images. The pass, which grants access to over 2,000 national parks and recreation sites, is supposed to display a photo chosen through an annual public photography contest. However, the lawsuit claims that the administration replaced the winning image with Trumps portrait and created separate resident and nonresident pass categories, both of which are prohibited by law. The Interior Department has defended these changes as part of a modernization and America first effort by the Trump administration.
