PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A U.S. appeals court late Friday said the Trump administration can halt work on a National Park Service slavery exhibit in Philadelphia while it appeals an order to reinstall it.

About half of the large panels at the outdoor exhibit have been restored this week at the site of the former President’s House on Independence Mall. U.S. Circuit Judge Thomas Hardiman, in his order, said the exhibit as it stood Friday must remain in place and the remaining materials must be preserved. The appeals court will now weigh the dispute between the city and the federal government, which began when the administration abruptly removed the exhibit in January, amid an effort to remove information it deems “disparaging” to Americans from federal properties.
