Patagonia Threatens To Sue White House Over National Monument Order


Patagonia on Wednesday threatened to sue the White House over an executive order that instructs the Department of the Interior to review any national monuments designated since 1996. “A president does not have the authority to rescind a National Monument. A month earlier, the Obama administration had set aside 1.35 million acres in Utah, including sacred tribal lands, to form Bears Ears National Monument. In response, Patagonia vowed to “fight with everyone we have” to preserve the new national monument. On Wednesday, Trump responded by ordering Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to review any monument created since Jan. 1, 1996.
