Federal Judge Halts Trump's White House Ballroom Construction Project Over Preservation Concerns

A US federal judge temporarily blocked the construction of the Trump White House ballroom project, siding with a historic preservation group that argued it violates federal law. The decision came after the group claimed the renovation violated the Antiquities Act and the Historic Preservation Act. The project's halt is effective until further notice. The ruling marks a victory for preservationists who sought to protect the White House's historical integrity.
