Trump administration appeals order to restore George Washington slavery exhibit in Philadelphia
The administration contests a federal injunction to restore slavery panels at the President's House, a key site expecting millions for the 250th anniversary, amid legal disputes over National Park Service control.
- On Wednesday, Senior U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe ordered the Department of the Interior and National Park Service to restore the President's House, Philadelphia by 5 p.m. Friday.
- After the National Park Service removed displays last month, the city of Philadelphia sued and secured an injunction Monday, with Judge Cynthia M. Rufe ordering immediate restoration due to agencies' failure to comply.
- While the government appealed to the Third Circuit, the court found the Department of the Interior violated the APA by removing the exhibit without city consent, and NPS staff were at the site Wednesday morning.
- The court's injunction means the order to restore the exhibits remains in effect, which Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker called a 'huge win.'
- Some 80 exhibits are flagged for removal under Secretary Order 3431, which directs a review of interpretive content, and multiple lawsuits, including one by the National Parks Conservation Association in Boston, challenge these removals.
