Confederate memorial spared takedown thanks to judge’s order
A cemetery spokesperson told Fox News that the U.S. Army had begun disassembling the monument but halted operations.
The restraining will expire Wednesday night. A hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. EST to decide whether or not the judge’s order will remain in place.
The order, issued by Judge Rossie Alston, a Trump appointee, blocks "any acts to deconstruct, tear down, remove, or alter the object of this case."
In
a footnote, Alston wrote that he "takes very seriously the
representations of officers of the Court and should the representations
in this case be untrue or exaggerated the Court may take appropriate
sanctions." Read more and see video here.
