> Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered a 14-day halt to construction of Donald Trump’s proposed triumphal arch in Washington, DC. The National Capital Planning Commission had approved the project 8-4, while lawsuits, including one by Vietnam War veterans, challenge it over concerns that it could obstruct the view between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial.
