DC and Virginia Sue to Block Trump's Proposed Triumphal Arch Near Arlington Cemetery
Washington, DC, and Virginia have filed a lawsuit against the US National Park Service and the Interior Department to block President Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery. The lawsuit argues the project lacks congressional authorization, violates federal building laws, and was rushed without proper procedures. The administration plans to begin construction soon and defends the arch as an opportunity to reshape the capital. The plaintiffs seek a court order to halt construction and ensure public and congressional input.
