FALLS CHURCH, Va. — A federal judge on Monday issued a temporary restraining order barring removal of a memorial to Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
A group called Defend Arlington, affiliated with a group called Save Southern Heritage Florida, filed a lawsuit Sunday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, seeking the restraining order. A hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday.
Work to remove the memorial had begun Monday before the restraining order was issued, but the memorial remains in place on cemetery grounds.
A cemetery spokesperson said Monday that Arlington is complying with the restraining order, but referred all other questions to the Justice Department.
The cemetery had said on Friday that it expected to complete the removal this week. It said the removal was required by Congress, and that it was complying with environmental and historic-preservation regulations.

DemocRats and the Taliban both love to destroy monuments and rewrite history.
“...historic-preservation regulations...”????????
How is removing an historic monument considered preservation?????
Whether you like it or not doesn’t remove it’s historical significance....
The losers have a right to have their dead respected.
That monument is an important symbol of Reconstruction and the re-unification of the country.
Democraps are all about division and dis-unity. Of course they want it removed.
If those in charge don’t respect my history then I shouldn’t respect theirs. Let’s remove all monuments to the plagiarizer, womanizer, shakedown artist, adulterer and communist sympathizer MLK,Jr.
Cultural genocide.
Destroying history is what Marxists do.
Hooray!
“Cultural genocide.”
No; just genocide.
By definition: “the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.”
“Whether you like it or not doesn’t remove it’s historical significance”
The idea is to blot out all traces of the history you refer to and replace it.
And make no mistake......the holy grail of wiping out history to the people doing this is none other than the U.S. Constitution
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
“The losers have a right to have their dead respected.”
they were all americans, and all died.
They should be remembered, as should our history.
If I had a son or daughter buried there, I would move them.
Bravo!
And his inspiration Karl Marx, the madman behind the deaths of hundreds of millions totalitarian regimes straight from hell itself and almost bringing our species to the brink of extinction via nuclear ☢️ war!
Welcoming the "Rebs" back into the country versus beating them into submission was the best solution.
BTW, my ancestors fought for the North.
Tearing down the monuments will only further divide us.
