The impacts also hit the national park service. An employee has been protected to go on a national road maintenance trip to a national monument when change enters supervised on 20 February. “The hall wants more of myself, I can’t go for.

I’m saying about? And if, when? The project is in an indefinite hold.”

A written michel to the person in the specified national park service that “all traveled to the national security, or the immigration success is initiated if March 26 2025.” A long decision to travel policy, says that comes “in a later date.” Some NPS Staffers have to travel in February notwithstanding do not get official release.
