Kennedy \u2014 are buried at Arlington.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The family members wrote that the project will &#8220;permanently cast a shadow over the graves of servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country, including the Kennedy Gravesites.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The family members are seeking to intervene as plaintiffs <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-arch-lawsuits-virginia-dc-politics\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">in a lawsuit opposing the arch<\/a><\/span> from the city of Washington, D.C., and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Several Vietnam War veterans are <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.289572\/gov.uscourts.dcd.289572.1.0_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also suing the Trump administration<\/a> over the arch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Americans from every corner of the country visit Arlington to honor those who served and sacrificed for our nation,&#8221; Rory Kennedy and Maxwell Kennedy said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydefendersfund.org\/news\/kennedy-family-sues-to-block-the-trump-administration-from-unlawfully-building-250-foot-arch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> on the lawsuit. &#8220;A towering arch casting shadows across the graves of our father, mother, and uncles, as well as the graves of so many who have served our country, would also cast a shadow over our democratic principles, undermining the safeguards established by our elected representatives to protect this hallowed ground for generations to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department had no comment on the filing when reached by CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The proposed arch \u2014 slated for a traffic circle across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial in D.C. \u2014 is part of a slew of construction projects in and around the nation&#8217;s capital that Mr. Trump has personally pushed for. His administration says the arch would commemorate 250 years of American independence. It <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.289572\/gov.uscourts.dcd.289572.63.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sought to break ground<\/a> as early as this month.<\/p>\n<p>But the project has drawn stiff pushback from local officials, congressional Democrats and some veterans and others with an interest in Arlington National Cemetery. Opponents argue the Trump administration did not follow the proper legal processes to build the arch, and warn it would block the sightlines between the cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial.<\/p>\n<p>The National Capital Planning Commission, which is stacked with Trump allies, voted to approve plans for the arch last week. But U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-arch-approval-national-capital-planning-commission\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">quickly blocked<\/a><\/span> the government from starting any &#8220;construction-related activity&#8221; for 14 days, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-arch-arguments-judge-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">finding<\/a><\/span> the <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.289572\/gov.uscourts.dcd.289572.111.0_2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plan<\/a> is likely illegal.

Several family members have also <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/joekennedy\/status\/2001735896228302982\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoken out<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheLeadCNN\/status\/2101091013024735677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">against<\/a> Mr. Trump&#8217;s attempts to add his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, including the niece and grandnephew of the center&#8217;s namesake, Kerry Kennedy and Joe Kennedy III, both of whom are seeking to join the triumphal arch lawsuit as plaintiffs.<\/p>\n<p>Kerry Kennedy&#8217;s brother, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/rfk-jr-kennedy-center-name-change\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told CBS News<\/a><\/span> earlier this year he was not involved in the proposed name change for the performing arts center and did not recommend against the move.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, I understand it, but I have bigger fish to fry,&#8221; he said when asked about the pushback from some of his relatives.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component
