National Park staff barred from revealing fatalities
The Trump administration reportedly issued a policy instructing Department of the Interior staff, including National Park Service personnel, not to confirm deaths or details about severe injuries at U.S. national parks, claiming it is not intended to conceal information. An internal memo prohibits publicly confirming fatalities unless coordinated with appropriate authorities and notified to next of kin, and limits reporting on injury severity. Critics argue this restricts public awareness of dangers, though officials maintain the policy aims to ensure consistent incident communication and privacy.
