US Institute of Peace seeks court order to block Trump name carving on building facade
The organization filed an emergency motion as the building's exterior work proceeded.
The US Institute of Peace, an independent federal agency, filed an emergency motion to block the carving of President Trump's name into the facade of its headquarters building, according to reports on the matter.
In other news, Republican congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar of South Florida criticized Trump's immigration enforcement efforts in a campaign advertisement, saying some policies "have gone too far"—a rare public break from the president by a member of his own party.
