A lawsuit has been filed against the National Park Service and the US Department of the Interior, citing conflicts of interest and arguing that the UFC's 'UFC Freedom 250' event does not meet the conditions for special events at the South Lawn or Lincoln Memorial.
, was filed against the National Park Service and the United States Department of the Interior. The case points out several conflicts of interest for the President, and claims the “UFC Freedom 250” event will line the pockets of MAGA allies, like Paramount-Skydance CEOSebastian Stan Slams Donald Trump and Says What's Going on in America Is 'Not a Laughing Matter': 'We're in a Really Bad Place'But the meat of the legal argument lies in the National Park Service ’s usual permitting regime, which, according to the suit, rules that “no special events of any sort, including any sporting events, may be held on the South Lawn or at the Lincoln Memorial.
Nor may structures be erected on the South Lawn without express authorization from Congress and a thorough environmental review. ”The lawsuit does point out that there is a temporary workaround for the permitting regime saved for “special events planned, organized, and executed by executive departments and agencies or the Semiquincentennial Commission” in observation of America’s 250th birthday.
However, the case argues, that this is “a private, for-profit sporting event” that is planned by “the UFC, its broadcast partners, and its advertisers,” and not the federal government.
“And it is not in any material sense a ‘celebration of the 250th anniversary of American Independence’—it is, instead, a celebration of the UFC’s brand and the 80th anniversary of Donald Trump’s birth,” the suit continues. “For these reasons, UFC Freedom 250 does not satisfy the strict conditions that must be satisfied for special semiquincentennial events to occur on the South Lawn or at the Lincoln Memorial.
