Nine members of the Kennedy family political dynasty have sued the Trump administration to stop a planned arch, according to a report from The Guardian. The family asked a federal judge to block the president's plan to build a towering, gilded arch that they say would cast a shadow over their relatives' graves at Arlington National Cemetery.

The Guardian also reported that the lawsuit describes the 250-foot arch as a structure that risks "permanently diminishing" memorials to the former president and his relatives at the cemetery.

The New York Times reported that the legal filing argues the arch would cast a shadow on Kennedy family graves and would disrupt the sightline from the eternal flame that memorializes the former president, John F. Kennedy.

Both outlets describe the family's aim as blocking the project through the courts, and both place the gravesite at the center of the dispute. They differ in emphasis. The Guardian's account focuses on the wider set of memorials at the cemetery, while The New York Times highlights the view from the eternal flame.

The available summaries of both reports do not describe when construction would begin, which court received the filing, or how the administration has responded to the suit. Neither summary reports a ruling on the family's request.
