Judge blocks Trump's 250-ft arch construction for 14 days

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a 14-day restraining order blocking construction of US President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington, within hours of the National Capital Planning Commission approving it 8-4. The judge said the government cannot begin any construction-related activity while legal proceedings continue, citing a century-old statute stretched beyond its intent.
