Republicans in Congress are again pushing to sell off millions of acres of public land as part of the GOP’s tax cut and spending bill.

Mike Lee (R-Utah), calls for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service to sell between two and three million acres over the next five years.

Federal protections for some lands and archaeological sites in the Mountain West could be at risk following a new legal opinion from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that many say gives President Trump a green light to shrink or revoke national monuments. The DOJ memo reverses a 90-year-old legal interpretation that said presidents can’t undo monument designations by their predecessors under the Antiquities Act.
