Sept. 30, 2025, 8:49 PM EDTBy Monica Alba and Raquel Coronell UribeWASHINGTON — National parks will remain partially open during the government shutdown set to begin Wednesday, according to an Interior Department contingency plan posted Tuesday evening.Open-air sites will remain open to the public, but buildings that require staffing, such as visitor centers or sites like the Washington Monument, will be closed. Health and safety will continue to be addressed for sites that remain operational, meaning restrooms will be open and trash will be collected, the Interior Department said.The contingency plans specify that park roads, lookouts, trails and open-air memorials will stay open but emergency services will be limited. The department added that if public access begins to pose a safety, health or resource protection issue, an area must close.Critical Senate vote fails as shutdown deadline looms02:02The contingency plan says that about 64% of the National Park Service workforce is set to be furloughed and that those kept on would perform “excepted” activities, such as law enforcement or emergency response, border and coastal protection and surveillance, and fire suppression and monitoring.The published plans come hours before a funding lapse across the federal government. Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought told agencies in a memo Tuesday night to begin implementing their shutdown plans.Recent shutdowns led to confusion about the public’s access to national parks. During the last shutdown, in his first term, President Donald Trump ordered parks to remain open. Trails and outdoor sites stayed open ,and some staff members stayed on to clean restrooms and empty trash cans.Still, many park employees were furloughed, resulting in trash piling up and restrooms filling up with human waste. Some parks, including California’s Joshua Tree, eventually had to close because of damage made by unsupervised visitors.That shutdown was the longest in U.S. history, lasting 34 days.During the 2013 shutdown, the park service took a different approach to park access. At the time, park gates were closed and bathrooms were locked. Trash went uncollected, and fencing went up around some sites, like the Lincoln Memorial.In both shutdowns, there was more notice about the plan, whereas the contingency plans published Tuesday night came just hours before a shutdown.The park service workforce, which could experience significant furloughs, is already more depleted than usual. The National Parks Conservation Association, an advocacy organization, estimated in July that the park service lost 24% of its permanent staff as a consequence of the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the federal workforce through the Department of Government Efficiency.The park service reinstated a number of purged employees, however, The Associated Press reported this month.The park service did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night on the number of job cuts and how many people were rehired.The National Parks Conservation Association said Monday that the impacts of keeping parks open last time were “disastrous” and that some parks suffered damage that took months or even years to recover from.“A government shutdown would leave our parks understaffed and vulnerable, putting our most cherished places and millions of visitors at risk. If a national park has a gate or door, it must be locked until a funding deal is reached and our parks can be staffed and protected,” it said in a news release.Meanwhile, a letter signed by more than 40 former park superintendents urged Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to close parks, too, arguing that keeping them open during past shutdowns caused harm to them and jeopardized visitor safety.“If you don’t act now, history is not just doomed to repeat itself, the damage could in fact be much worse,” the letter said.Monica AlbaMonica Alba is a White House correspondent for NBC News.Raquel Coronell UribeRaquel Coronell Uribe is a breaking news reporter.

Oct. 6, 2025, 4:34 PM EDT / Updated Oct. 6, 2025, 5:38 PM EDTBy Natasha Korecki and Daniella SilvaCHICAGO — Clashes between protesters and federal agents over immigration enforcement escalated this weekend, capping several weeks of tension over President Donald Trump’s vow to send federalized National Guard troops to the streets of Chicago. Skirmishes outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview led the mayor to announce Monday that she was limiting demonstrations to certain hours.The announcement, which was provided first to NBC News, comes after multiple clashes around an ICE processing facility in Broadview, where federal agents fired pepper balls and tear gas and used physical force, including slamming people to the ground, as protesters have tried to block vehicles from entering and leaving the facility. Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an order designating protest hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily “in response to escalating disruptions and public safety concerns.”Tensions have grown in Chicago and the surrounding area after President Donald Trump launched Operation Midway Blitz, massively increasing immigration enforcement in the area. The operation has so far led to 900 arrests, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Demonstrations opposing the deployment of federal troops have taken place in downtown Chicago.Jacek Boczarski / Anadolu via Getty ImagesThompson said in a statement that the order sought to balance the constitutional rights of protesters and “the needs and safety of Broadview’s residents and businesses.”“People have to go to work, they have to get their children ready for school, our businesses have to serve their customers, and our residents with developmental disabilities, who have sensory issues, have suffered emotional meltdowns because of the chaotic environment when protests get disruptive,” she said in the statement.She said some demonstrators have escalated into unsafe situations, including over the weekend, when there was a “very aggressive crowd of protesters and the situation got out of control” as demonstrators tried to take over Interstate 290.“I have repeatedly said that I intend to defend the protesters’ constitutionally protected free speech rights. I support their cause,” she said. “But the repeated clashes with ICE agents in our town are causing enormous disruptions in the quality of life for my residents whose rights I have taken an oath to protect. We live here. Our residents live here and deserve dignity and respect.”ICE said in a statement that the Broadview Processing Center “continues to face violence and unlawful activity by rioters. The relentless actions of these individuals — and their attempts to obstruct the enforcement of federal law — are unacceptable.”The agency said “local inaction” by officials “has enabled agitators to escalate violence and placed federal officers, first responders, and Broadview residents in harm’s way.”Trump has also been threatening to deploy the National Guard to Chicago for months, giving the greenlight to do so over the weekend, as state and local officials have fought back against his efforts.Earlier Monday, the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago sued to block the Trump administration from deploying federalized National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago.“The American people, regardless of where they reside, should not live under the threat of occupation by the United States military, particularly not simply because their city or state leadership has fallen out of a president’s favor,” the Illinois Attorney General’s Office wrote in the filing, which names President Donald Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll as defendants.Representatives for the Justice Department, the Army and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Defense Department declined to comment.Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, said at a news conference later Monday that Trump’s plans to send in the National Guard were an “unconstitutional invasion of Illinois by the federal government.”“Peaceful protesters have been hit with tear gas and shot with rubber bullets; journalists simply reporting the facts on the ground have been targeted and arrested; U.S. citizens, including children, have been traumatized and detained,” he said.Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has repeatedly pushed back against Trump’s intention of sending National Guard troops to Chicago.Kamil Krzaczynski / AFP – Getty ImagesHe said the “escalation of violence is targeted and intentional and premeditated. The Trump administration is following a playbook. Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem like peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them.”Pritzker said Trump wanted to “justify and normalize the presence of armed soldiers under his direct command.”The White House maintained Trump’s actions are lawful.“Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness, that local leaders like Pritzker have refused to step in to quell, President Trump has exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers and assets. President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement.Citing crime issues, Trump has also threatened to send the National Guard into other prominent Democratic-run cities, including New York, Baltimore and New Orleans. The rate of serious crimes has dropped dramatically in Chicago and the other cities Trump had targeted in recent years. Statistics from the Chicago Police Department show the murder rate through the end of September is down 29% compared with the same period last year. Overall crime is down 13%, according to the police department.Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Monday called “ICE Free Zone,” which prohibits federal immigration agents from using any city-owned property during its operations in Chicago. “We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents’ constitutional rights nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing Chicago residents. We will not stand for that in our city,” Johnson said in a statement. The White House, in a statement Monday, called Johnson’s order “a disgusting betrayal of every law-abiding citizen.” “Johnson’s pathetic excuse that enforcing our nation’s immigration laws somehow ‘undermines community trust’ exposes his true loyalty: to criminal illegal alien predators, not the terrified families of Chicago,” the statement said. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement Monday afternoon that Johnson was “demonizing ICE law enforcement” and accused him of not caring about the safety of federal law enforcement officers or Chicagoans. “His reckless policies not only endanger our law enforcement, but public safety,” she said.Natasha KoreckiNatasha Korecki is a senior national political reporter for NBC News.Daniella SilvaDaniella Silva is a national reporter for NBC News, focusing on immigration and education.
