US judge reinforces order barring immediate work on Trump arch
The planned 76-meter Washington arch is facing legal challenges and lacks final approval from a government planning authority.
A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to provide 48 hours' notice before engaging in any activity on the site of a triumphal arch the administration intends to build near Arlington National Cemetery. The ruling came after the US interior department announced plans to move forward with work on the 76-meter arch despite legal challenges and the lack of final approval from a government planning authority.
Lawyers for a group of military veterans and an architectural historian argued that the administration lacks legal basis for the construction work, stating that the arch violates federal law and requires approval from Congress.
