Patagonia Sues Trump Over Shrinking Bears Ears Monument in Utah
TL;DR Summary
Patagonia joined conservation groups to sue President Trump, seeking to overturn his July proclamation that shrank Bears Ears National Monument in Utah by more than 1 million acres (and reduced Grand Staircase-Escalante by about 1.7 million). The lawsuit argues the Antiquities Act authorizes creating protected sites but not shrinking them, reviving litigation from 2017 and signaling a potential Supreme Court dispute over presidential power to alter monuments; Biden had previously restored protections in the interim.
