Kennedy family members ask a judge to block Trump's Arlington memorial arch

What happened: Nine Kennedy family members asked a judge to block President Trump's plan to build a 250-foot memorial arch at Arlington National Cemetery, filing a motion to intervene in two existing lawsuits. Key numbers: The arch would be 250 feet (76 meters) tall. Judge Tanya Chutkan last week barred construction for 14 days. Why it matters: The relatives say the arch would cast a shadow over their relatives' gravesites and "fundamentally alter" visits to the site. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
