Federal judge pauses construction on Trump arch for two weeks
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a temporary restraining order halting work on the president's triumphal arch in Washington.
Temporary halt ordered by court
The federal judge granted a request from plaintiffs challenging the project. This legal action stops construction for fourteen days following recent approvals.
Approval came after heated vote
The National Capital Planning Commission voted eight to four to authorize the 250-foot structure. Dozens of witnesses opposed the plans during a nine-hour hearing before the decision was made.
Lawsuits now combined for trial
Judge Chutkan merged separate lawsuits from Virginia, the District of Columbia, and other groups. The consolidation includes claims from Vietnam veterans and an architectural historian.
