Executive order directing federal agencies to remove materials deemed inconsistent with the administration’s framing of American history from national parks, public lands, and federal institutions. The order’s title is the primary document: it names its own action as restoration and positions the existing record as the condition requiring correction.
Correction record (2026-07-09)
This record previously cited the order as “The White House, January 2025,” with no EO number and no Federal Register document number.
Signed 2025-03-27. Published 2025-04-03. The stated date was wrong by roughly three months. Verified against the Federal Register JSON API (documents/2025-05838.json: executive_order_number: 14253, signing_date: 2025-03-27, publication_date: 2025-04-03) and the govinfo mirror (HTTP 200).
An executive order always carries both an EO number and an FR document number. Neither was filed. The record named a real document and made it unretrievable.
