A coalition of veterans, families, historians and lawmakers stage a legal and public campaign to block the Trump administration's 250‐foot arch near Arlington National Cemetery, arguing it would disrespect the sanctity of the burial ground and cut off the historic view between the Lincoln Memorial and the cemetery. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum confirms imminent excavation, while congressional leaders urge legal action and the veterans group releases a condemning video. Trump defends the monument as a tribute to veterans and a civic beautification, but faces mounting opposition for potentially altering a national site.
