Kennedy family files motion to block Trump's Arlington arch
On November 11, nine members of the Kennedy family filed a motion to intervene in federal lawsuits aimed at halting President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery, arguing that the structure would cast shadows on their relatives' graves and the Eternal Flame. The motion was filed in the U. S.
District Court for the District of Columbia. The family had earlier sought to join the litigation, contending that the arch would obstruct views of the Kennedy graves at Arlington and disrupt the historic memorial site.
