TL;DR Summary

The process to remove a century-old Confederate memorial at Arlington National Cemetery has resumed after a federal judge lifted a temporary injunction. The group Defend Arlington had filed a lawsuit seeking to halt the removal, but the judge ruled that their allegations were unfounded. The monument's removal is part of a national effort to remove or rename Confederate monuments and memorials. The movement has faced pushback from some Republican lawmakers. The removal process is expected to be completed by the end of the week, with surrounding graves and headstones being carefully protected during the process.
