Trump's massive new triumphal arch got the green light, but a federal judge blocked construction just hours later. The National Capital Planning Commission voted 8-4 to approve the president's proposed 250-foot monument near Arlington National Cemetery, clearing the way for construction to begin. Hours later, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan stepped in, ordering a 14-day temporary halt as legal challenges move forward. The granite structure, inspired by Paris' Arc de Triomphe, is intended to commemorate America's 250th anniversary. But the fight over what could become one of Washington's most prominent landmarks is far from over.
