Nine members of the Kennedy family filed to join an existing lawsuit on November 11, 2026, aiming to stop construction of a 250-foot arch proposed by President Trump near the gravesite of JFK and other Kennedy relatives.
BBC News and NBC News both reported the family members' central objection: that the arch would cast a shadow over multiple gravesites, not only JFK's. The site holds several notable Kennedy relatives, NBC News said.
The family members are seeking to intervene in a lawsuit already underway against the project, rather than filing separate legal action, according to NBC News.
