Virginia and D.C. have filed lawsuits to halt construction of Donald Trump's controversial arch project, per pbs.org. The legal challenge argues the government's plans violate environmental and historical preservation laws.

The case adds to a growing list of legal battles surrounding the arch, which has drawn criticism from local officials and preservationists. Bloomberg reports that the government is pushing for work to begin despite mounting opposition.

A judge has announced that the court will investigate government officials involved in the DC golf course case, ABC News notes. The investigation may impact how the arch project proceeds, as legal scrutiny intensifies.

Flight N507ME is climbing out of Washington at 1,325 ft, heading northwest, according to live aviation data.
