Trump, Netanyahu e a questão do Irã.
Juiz dos EUA nega injunção contra nova ordem de cidadania por nascimento de Trump.
A ordem temporária foi assinada pelo Chefe de Justiça dos EUA, John Roberts, designado para lidar com recursos da capital. Mas ele discordou publicamente da última decisão, escrevendo uma forte objeção que citou figuras históricas e chamou o projeto de “provavelmente ilegal” porque não foi aprovado pelo Congresso.
The majority did not decide the legality of the project, but found that a preservation group likely did not have the legal right to challenge it. The unsigned opinion also cited the national security concerns that the government says the project would address.
The lawsuit will return to lower courts, but documents say that key portions of the project could be complete within months – a quick timeline compared with a typical legal case.
The Trump administration asked the justices to intervene after federal courts found the project must halt because it did not have congressional approval.
The lawsuit from the National Trust for Historic Preservation argued that Trump has no unilateral authority to undertake the work, which has included demolishing the East Wing.
The group’s lawyers accused the White House of trying to “outrun the courts” by accelerating construction.
In lower courts, the Trump administration has argued that the president has total authority to renovate the White House and other federal buildings. Government lawyers said the ballroom project must be completed due to national security concerns, though those were not an initial focus when Trump announced the work and said it would be funded by private donations.
A administração afirmou que as equipes estão trabalhando 20 horas por dia no salão de festas planejado de 8. 400 metros quadrados (90. 000 pés quadrados). O arcabouço deve ser concluído em novembro, e grande parte da fachada será concluída até abril, com a conclusão total prevista para agosto de 2028, segundo documentos judiciais.
US District Judge Richard Leon ordered a stop to aboveground construction of the planned ballroom in April, though the order would allow work on bunkers and military installations below ground to continue.
Leon was nominated by former President George W Bush, a Republican.
A decisão foi suspensa, mas depois mantida por um painel dividido do tribunal de apelações. Dois juízes nomeados por presidentes democratas concluíram que o projeto era para o Congresso decidir e “não é uma questão de autoajuda executiva”.
A third judge, appointed by Trump, found that the preservationist group that challenged the project had no legal right to sue.
Solicitor General D John Sauer also made that argument to the justices and said the decision halting the work was “extraordinary and unlawful”. He said the completion of the project was “vitally required by national security.”.
The administration has scored a series of other victories on the high court’s emergency docket, though the justices have ruled against some of the president’s signature policies after fuller review.
The demolished East Wing housed the first lady’s offices and the White House movie theatre. It was originally built in 1902, during Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency, and greatly expanded in 1942, during Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency.
