NPR • • general
Key Points:
- Virginia and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit to block construction of President Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch, calling the project "flagrantly unlawful."
- The lawsuit alleges the arch, planned between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial, will cause "irreparable harm" including severe traffic disruptions and costly mitigation efforts for both jurisdictions.
- Attorneys general Jay Jones and Brian Schwalb criticized the Trump administration for proceeding without adequate consultation or consideration of the impacts on the District and Virginia.
- Trump has defended the arch as a "military complex," though recent plans under review do not include military features.
- U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkin ordered both parties to negotiate a briefing schedule for a temporary restraining order by Saturday evening.
