Judge temporarily halts construction on Trump's Washington arch
14-day restraining order halts work on 250-foot monument approved by planning commission
A federal judge has temporarily halted construction on President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington, issuing a 14-day restraining order in a major setback for one of the president's most prominent projects. The order, issued by US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, consolidates lawsuits from Washington DC, Virginia, Vietnam veterans, and an architectural historian challenging the arch.
