**Not making a political statement**

It’s an executive order for an executive agency and afaik there’s no law preventing that kind of renaming so they are obligated to follow it.

A little more complicated, I think, for something like the Department of Defense, where federal law clearly requires a name change to be approved by Congress.
 

 

Name changes to locations happen more often than many think from all levels of govt and globally.  It is nothing new. 

Idlewild Airport in NYC was changed to J.F.K. in 1963.  Manchester Airport was changed to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in 2006.

In 2023, Fort Bragg NC was changed to Fort Liberty and then back to Bragg in 2025.  Other military bases had this done in the previous administration and current. 

Mt McKinley was changed to Denali in 2015, and now is back to Mt McKinley.  Barrow AK was changed to Utqiaġvik in 2016.  Hot Springs NM changed to Truth or Consequences in 1950. 

There are many others examples in the country and worldwide  Leningrad changed to St Petersburg in 1991, Myanmar was Burma, Belize was British Honduras, Eswatini was Swaziland.

So anyone thinking name changes to locations are not allowed/llegal or unique to just the current administration or political reasons for changes did not occur during prior administrations is incorrect and may be displaying bias and/or selective outrage.

And the above is not a political statement, it is a factual statement.
