Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes has filed a lawsuit to challenge President Joe Biden’s alleged unlawful designation of two national monuments, the state’s Republican governor, Spencer J. Cox, said Wednesday.

Cox’s government is moving to undo Biden’s decision to restore the original size of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah which former President Donald Trump had reduced during his term.
