Coalition Urges Court to Block Trump Ballroom

30 May 2026 10:36

The Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks has filed an amicus brief to block construction of President Trump's ballroom at the White House. - The brief supports a lawsuit by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

- The Trump Administration demolished the White House East Wing and is building a ballroom on historic grounds. - A preliminary injunction was granted but stayed pending appeal; a hearing is set for June 5, 2026.

The coalition argues the administration failed to follow preservation laws for this National Historic Landmark.
