"An environmental group is suing, saying federal law requires an image of public lands, not the president."
"An environmental group on Wednesday filed a lawsuit challenging the National Park Service’s plan to emblazon President Trump’s face on some annual passes to national parks starting Jan. 1.
The suit, filed in federal court in the District of Columbia by the Center for Biological Diversity, argued that it would violate federal law to put Mr. Trump’s visage on some of the passes, which have traditionally featured photos of scenic landscapes and wildlife.
Representatives for the Park Service and its parent agency, the Interior Department, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In a video posted on the Interior Department’s website in recent weeks, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said that a design featuring Mr. Trump and President George Washington would be one of several “commemorative new designs for our park passes.”"
