On January 30, USDA Director of Digital Communications Peter Rhee directed his staff to identify and archive or unpublish any landing pages focused on climate change by the end of the following day. The USDA subsequently removed numerous webpages containing vital public resources and information about climate-smart agriculture, forest conservation, climate change adaptation, investment in clean energy projects in rural America, and more. Organizations focused on farming and the environment sued to challenge the removal of these websites. On May 12, 2025, the government agreed to restore the data to government websites and to provide updates to the court on their progress and next steps.
