Administration urges court to reject late bid to stop White House UFC fight
TL;DR Summary
The Trump administration asked a federal judge to reject a last‑minute lawsuit seeking to halt the UFC Freedom 250 fight on the White House South Lawn, arguing the suit was filed too late after months of planning and construction and would disrupt thousands of spectators and participants; the plaintiffs allege violations of federal rules for structures on public land, while DOJ says delaying the event would upend investments and could jeopardize athletes’ health. No emergency hearing has been scheduled yet.
