State of Utah, 2 counties file suit to overturn Biden's restoration of Bears Ears, Grand Staircase

The state of Utah and two of its counties went to federal court on Wednesday in a bid to overturn the latest boundary change to Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments, arguing that President Biden overreached the authority given him under The Antiquities Act.


The legal bid is just the latest turn to shift the boundaries of the two monuments. Former President Trump flew to Salt Lake City in December 2017 to issue presidential proclamations that sheered nearly 2 million acres from the two monuments.
