The legal action argues that the proposed structure would cast shadows on the burial plots of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy while disrupting views of the eternal flame.
Kennedy asked a judge to issue an injunction and permanently stop construction of the arch. Members of the Kennedy family are seeking to intervene in the legal fight to block construction of a triumphal arch in Washington championed by President Donald Trump, saying it would interfere with memorial gravesites of family members — including JFK’s eternal flame. The Kennedy family is seeking an injunction to block Trump from constructing his arch because it would obstruct the sightlines of the Kennedy gravesites and the John F.
The legal filing argues that the arch would cast a shadow on Kennedy family graves and disrupt the sightline from the eternal flame memorializing the former president.
Newsweek reported the story as "Kennedys Say Trump's Arch Would Be 'Permanent Denigration' of Gravesites." PoliticusUSA reported the story as "The Kennedy Family Files For Injunction To Block Trump’s Arch."
