Interior Secretary’s Order 3416, issued in a Nov. 25 memo implementing a Trump-era executive order titled "Ending DEI Programs and Gender Ideology Extremism," directs National Park Service gift shops to remove merchandise promoting DEI and related gender-ideology content by a Dec. 19 compliance deadline. The order treats retail items as public-facing content subject to immediate removal if non-compliant, and Interior says the NPS is actively reviewing retail inventories—many of which are run by nonprofit partners—to keep parks focused on preserving resources for all Americans.

The Center for Biological Diversity filed a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 10 alleging the Interior Department violated the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act by replacing the National Park Foundation’s contest‑winning Glacier National Park image on the 2026 America the Beautiful pass with a closeup of President Donald Trump. The suit also claims Interior unlawfully created new Resident and Nonresident pass types and relegated the Glacier photo to a nonresident pass, and seeks to block use of Trump’s image on the pass.
