跟进：联邦法官叫停特朗普250英尺凯旋门动工14天：规划委员会当晚刚以8比4批准方案

美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法官 Tanya Chutkan 11月5日晚颁下临时限制令，14天内禁止联邦政府在华盛顿 Memorial Circle 一带开展任何与特朗普总统250英尺凯旋门有关的施工活动。就在当晚稍早，国家首都规划委员会刚以8比4的票数批准了这座拱门的最终选址与建筑方案。

规划委员会当天举行线上会议，听取了120多人超过8小时的作证，发言者多为反对者，包括退伍军人、议员与居民，委员会于晚间约10时29分表决批准。政府此前已告知法院，方案一旦获批，挖掘工程最快可于同日开始，国家公园管理局也在11月5日发布了批准该项目的决定记录。

限制令涵盖施工、挖掘、拆除、扰动土地、公用设施安装与道路封闭等一切施工相关活动。Chutkan 法官要求被告把禁令通知到参与项目的雇员、承包商与分包商等各方，并在11月9日前向法院报告通知情况、证明已遵守禁令。她在33页的意见书中认定，哥伦比亚特区与弗吉尼亚州很可能在诉讼中胜诉：国会从未专门授权兴建这座拱门；政府援引1925年授权阿灵顿纪念桥工程的法律作为依据，未获法官接受，政府后来提出的「国家安全效益」说法也被法官指为提出过晚且缺乏支撑。法官还认定，施工一旦开始将立即扰乱当地交通，并迫使地方机构投入无法收回的资源。

这起禁令源于哥伦比亚特区与弗吉尼亚州10月31日对国家公园管理局与内政部的起诉，两地总检察长称该项目「公然违法」；此案已与三名越战退伍军人及一名建筑史学家今年2月提起的首诉合并审理。原告主张，依《纪念工程法》，在首都兴建这类纪念建筑须先取得国会专门授权，政府并未取得。司法部此前向法院说明的施工安排是全程约33至39个月，前6至8个月以挖掘与地基工程为主。

这座拱门拟建于哥伦比亚岛（Columbia Island）上的 Memorial Circle，位于林肯纪念堂与阿灵顿国家公墓之间的阿灵顿纪念桥西端，石质拱身高166英尺、加上顶部鎏金塑像总高250英尺，为美国建国250周年而建。此次14天的限制令只是暂停动工，并不撤销规划委员会的批准，也不终局判定项目是否合法；法官尚未就更长时间的暂停以及退伍军人原告的初步禁令请求作出裁决，法院接下来的决定将左右这场暂停是否延长。

Follow-Up: Federal Judge Halts Work on Trump's 250-Foot Arch for 14 Days, Hours After Planning Commission Approves Plans 8-4

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C., issued a temporary restraining order on the night of November 5 barring the federal government, for 14 days, from any construction-related activity for President Donald Trump's 250-foot triumphal arch at Memorial Circle in Washington. Earlier that same evening, the National Capital Planning Commission had approved the arch's final site and building plans by a vote of 8-4.

The commission met online that day and heard more than eight hours of testimony from over 120 people, most of them opponents, including veterans, lawmakers and residents, before voting to approve at about 10:29 p.m. The administration had previously told the court that excavation could begin as early as the same day once the plans were approved, and the National Park Service also posted a decision record approving the project on November 5.

The order covers construction, excavation, demolition, land disturbance, utility installation, roadway closures and any other construction-related activity. Judge Chutkan directed the defendants to notify employees, contractors, subcontractors and other parties involved in the project, and to update the court by November 9 on those notification efforts and certify their compliance. In a 33-page opinion, she found that the District of Columbia and Virginia are likely to succeed in their lawsuit: Congress never specifically authorized the arch. The government's reliance on the 1925 law authorizing the Arlington Memorial Bridge project was not accepted, and its later assertion of national security benefits was described as belated and unsupported. She also found that construction, once begun, would immediately disrupt traffic and force local agencies to commit resources they could not recover.

The order stems from the October 31 lawsuit by the District of Columbia and Virginia against the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior, whose attorneys general called the project 'flagrantly unlawful'; the case has been consolidated with the first lawsuit, filed in February by three Vietnam War veterans and an architectural historian. The plaintiffs argue that under the Commemorative Works Act, a monument of this kind in the capital requires specific congressional authorization, which the administration has not obtained. The Justice Department previously described a construction schedule of about 33 to 39 months in court filings, with the first six to eight months focused on excavation and foundation work.

The arch is planned for Memorial Circle on Columbia Island, at the western end of Arlington Memorial Bridge between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery; the stone structure would rise 166 feet, with gilded figures on top bringing the total height to 250 feet, and is intended to mark the nation's 250th anniversary. The 14-day order only pauses groundbreaking: it does not undo the planning commission's approval and does not finally decide whether the project is lawful. The judge has not yet ruled on a longer stay or on the veterans' request for a preliminary injunction, and the court's next decisions will determine whether the pause is extended.
