"The Trump administration touched off consternation and confusion over the weekend, issuing, and then apparently rolling back, an announcement implying the president had rescinded his predecessor’s order creating two popular national monuments in California.

The confusion arose over a bullet item referencing President Trump’s rollback of the monument designations in a White House fact sheet posted Friday that details the reversal of various Biden administration policies. On Saturday, the reference to monuments was dropped without explanation.

The change left unclear the fates of the Chuckwalla National Monument adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park and the Sáttítla Highlands National Monument in Northern California."
