A federal judge halted construction on President Trump's planned 250-foot-high Triumphal Arch near Arlington Cemetery not long after the National Capital Planning Commission, which the President has packed with supporters, approved it. (NYT) US District Judge Tanya Chutkan cited the "sheer improbability" of the administration's argument that Congress actually approved the project 100 years ago and placed a two-week block on construction, which Democrats have said they will halt when they take over Congress next year.
