Former President Donald Trump’s team was physically blocked from accompanying him, during a visit to Arlington National Cemetery. The incident occurred during a wreath-laying ceremony to honor 13 U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan in 2021. Arlington National Cemetery confirmed the incident and emphasized that federal law prohibits political campaign activities within military cemeteries, including those by photographers or content creators associated with partisan candidates. Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita condemned the incident, calling it disgraceful and noting that Trump was there at the invitation of the Gold Star Families to honor their fallen loved ones.
