Washington, D.C., and Virginia sued the National Parks Service and the Interior Department on Saturday to block a triumphal arch proposed by President Trump, according to a new court filing that The Hill's report described.
The Hill reported that the planned arch would resemble arches in other cities, including Paris's Arc de Triomphe, and would be constructed on the border between the District and Virginia. The outlet's summary describes the structure only through that comparison and location, and it does not give dimensions, cost, or a construction schedule.
The Hill's report names the National Parks Service and the Interior Department as the defendants in the case. Its headline summarizes the action as “DC, Virginia sue to block Trump’s triumphal arch.”
The summary of The Hill's report ends partway through its description of the court filing, so the legal arguments in the complaint are not reported here. The summary also does not say whether the proposal has received formal approval, or how the defendant agencies have responded to the suit.
This account is drawn from a single summary of The Hill's report, written by Ford McCracken. No other outlet's coverage of the filing was available for comparison, so the reporting does not confirm the filing's full contents beyond that summary. Further detail would need to come from the full report or the court record.
