President Donald Trump recently issued an executive order that directs the Department of the Interior to review national monuments created by Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. That’s not only a brazen attack on the 111-year-old Antiquities Act under which those monuments were designated but also a barefaced betrayal of the American people.President Trump Twenty-seven of our national monuments are under attack.
Six of the national monuments being reviewed are in California, including the newish San Gabriel Mountains National Monument just north of Los Angeles; Sand to Snow and Mojave Trails, also in Southern California; Berryessa Snow Mountain in Northern California; Carrizo Plain and Giant Sequoia in Central California.
