US EditionTrump administration files emergency motion to resume ballroom work, citing security issues
The administration says the pause leaves the White House exposed and could cause grave national security harms.
- The administration of President Donald Trump filed an emergency motion in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to lift a March 31 pause on the White House ballroom project.
- District Judge Richard Leon ordered the construction halt on March 31, granting a 14-day stay to allow the administration to appeal his decision.
- The administration argues the injunction leaves the White House "open and exposed," threatening "grave national-security harms," while the National Park Service claims the court lacks constitutional authority to hear the suit.
- Plaintiffs from the National Trust sued to stop the work, alleging Trump exceeded his authority by demolishing the East Wing without Congress approval for the $400 million project.
- This ballroom is part of a broader push to reshape Washington's monumental core, which includes plans for a 76m arch and significant changes at the Kennedy Center.
