Justice Department Moves to Dismiss Lawsuit Over Trump's Arlington Arch
The Justice Department asked a federal judge on 3 November to dismiss a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s proposed 250-foot arch near Arlington National Cemetery, saying the alleged harms were speculative. The lawsuit was filed on 30 October by Virginia and the District of Columbia, alleging potential traffic disruption and environmental violations. Judge Tanya Chutkan had earlier expressed skepticism about the project's urgency, citing concerns over timing, purpose and impact on historic sightlines.
