The Trump administration has imposed a new veil of secrecy over deaths in national parks, barring employees from confirming fatalities to the public or the media.
A December memo issued to staff at the Interior Department, which oversees the National Park Service, has just been revealed and states that employees are no longer permitted to confirm deaths or details about severe injuries that have occurred in parks.
The change, as reported by The Washington Post on Wednesday, is a major departure from the department’s previous disclosure policy, which helped inform the public about possible hazards.
