Kennedys Move to Block Trump’s Arch, Saying It Would Disturb J.F.K. Gravesite

The Kennedy family filed a federal lawsuit to block President Donald Trump’s proposed 250‑foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery, arguing it would permanently overshadow the graves of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Nine relatives claim the structure would cast a shadow on the burial sites and disrupt sightlines from the eternal flame, constituting a permanent denigration of the historic graves. The plaintiffs seek an injunction to halt construction.
