The Digg National Parks community celebrates the landscapes, history, and adventures found in our National Parks. The Trump administration implemented a policy requiring staff at 11 popular national parks to ask visitors about their citizenship status to confirm eligibility for nonresident fees. Critics argue that the policy is exclusionary and xenophobic, potentially discouraging non-citizens from visiting national parks. The National Park Service maintains that staff are not checking immigration status beyond what is necessary for fee eligibility.
