Summary
Veterans and Democratic opponents are stepping up efforts to stop Trump's planned 250-foot triumphal arch as construction-related site work is expected to begin soon.
Critics argue the project is illegal and say both construction and the completed monument could disrupt military burials and damage the experience of visiting nearby Arlington National Cemetery.
The push marks a sharper phase in resistance to one of several Washington renovation projects Trump has pursued, including a White House ballroom and changes at the Kennedy Center.
