"The appeals court has allowed construction on the White House ballroom to continue at least until April 17, extending a pause on a lower court's order that barred further building."
"Judge Richard Leon ordered construction on the ballroom to be paused, citing the need for congressional authorization for a project so transformative to the US capital."
"Even as it extended the deadline for halting construction, the majority raised questions about the Trump administration's arguments regarding national security risks."
The United States appeals court has permitted the continuation of construction on the White House ballroom until at least April 17. This decision follows a lower court's order that paused the project, citing the need for congressional authorization. Judge Richard Leon's order included exceptions for safety and security construction. The appeals court's ruling was split, with two judges supporting the extension while one dissented. The Trump administration has claimed that halting construction poses a security risk and has filed an emergency motion to lift barriers to construction.
