Preservationist group urges Supreme Court to keep White House ballroom paused

A preservationist group has urged the Supreme Court to deny an emergency request from the Trump administration to proceed with White House ballroom construction. The administration seeks to overturn a lower court order that halts above-ground work starting Friday. This legal battle centers on whether President Trump can demolish parts of the White House and implement his own projects without Congressional permission, following the abrupt demolition of the East Wing by construction crews acting under his orders.
