Joining lawsuit, Kennedy family members say Trump's arch would be 'denigration' of JFK, RFK plots at Arlington
Legal filing comes with Trump administration eager to break ground on temporarily blocked project
Nine family members of the Kennedy political dynasty asked a judge on Tuesday to block U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to build a towering memorial arch, saying the 250-foot (76-metre) structure would cast a shadow over their relatives' gravesites at Arlington National Cemetery.
