Supreme Court allows Trump’s White House ballroom construction to continue for now
Friday, August 21, 2026
Chief Justice John Roberts issued a stay on January 15, 2026, allowing construction of an above-ground ballroom at the White House to proceed while the Supreme Court reviews the case. The stay halts a lower court's order that had blocked the project. The Court has not yet scheduled oral arguments or set a timeline for a final decision on the merits.
