Several members of the Kennedy family, one of America's most famous political dynasties, filed on Tuesday to join a court case aimed at stopping President Donald Trump from building a proposed triumphal arch in Washington, saying it would obstruct views and cast shadows over their relatives' grave sites.
The 250-foot (76-metre) arch, shown in a rendering to include a flame held by a 60-foot gold winged female figure and flanked by gold flying eagles, would be situated across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial on a highway roundabout near the entrance to the Arlington National Cemetery.
A judge has already issued a temporary order blocking construction through Nov 19 as she considers whether to issue a preliminary injunction.
