President Trump’s Department of the Interior wants to rescind the "Public Lands Rule" – saying it stands in the way of “legitimate” uses of land, including mining, grazing, energy development, and recreation.

As Congress moves closer to passing President Trump’s sweeping tax and budget bill — which would slash funding for food assistance, Medicaid, and clean energy — advocates are sounding the alarm about the future of America’s National Parks.

Hundreds of people rallied in Santa Fe on Monday against proposals to sell public lands and national monuments in New Mexico. The rally coincided with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s appearance at the Western Governors’ Association.
