SANTA ANA, California (AP) -- The National Park Service announced Tuesday that it had agreed under threat of a lawsuit to remove an 8-foot iron cross used for Easter gatherings and as a World War I memorial in Mojave National Preserve.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California threatened to sue the park service if it did not voluntarily take down the cross, which stands in the desert about 85 miles northeast of Barstow.

"It's a cross on federal property. The case law is pretty clear. We had no choice," said preserve superintendent Mary Martin.
