A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to return the slavery exhibit removed from Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, invoking George Orwell’s 1984 to argue the government cannot erase historical truths without proper consultation. Judge Cynthia Rufe granted the city of Philadelphia’s request to restore the exhibit panels while litigation continues, noting Congress had limited Interior Department authority to unilaterally alter the park.
