Kennedy Family Seeks Court Order to Block Trump's Proposed Washington Arch
Nine members of the Kennedy family have filed a legal motion to block President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery. They argue the structure would obstruct views and cast shadows over gravesites of John F. Kennedy and his brothers, disrupting historic sightlines between the Lincoln Memorial and the cemetery. A federal judge has temporarily halted construction amid ongoing lawsuits. The family emphasizes the arch would damage the memorial's design and the symbolic national unification represented by the site.
