A group of Vietnam War veterans is suing the Trump administration to block construction of a 250-foot Triumphal Arch near Arlington National Cemetery, arguing it violates federal law and disrespects the dead. - The lawsuit, filed by Public Citizen, claims the arch requires congressional authorization under the Commemorative Works Act.
- The Trump administration says Congress approved a similar structure in 1925, but critics say that authorization is outdated and insufficient. - Veterans and families call the arch a presidential vanity project, with one Marine veteran noting Trump said it was for him.
- The arch has received preliminary approvals from Trump-appointed commissions, but a judge has not yet ruled on its legality.
