华盛顿，6月8日（路透社）——华盛顿一名联邦法官已被要求阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统下周在白宫举办终极格斗冠军赛综合格斗赛事的计划，并叫停在这座标志性行政官邸南草坪上搭建名为“利爪”的金属场馆结构。
两名华盛顿地区居民在周日提交的法庭文件中，请求美国地区法官阿米特·梅hta发布临时禁制令，叫停这场定于6月14日特朗普80岁生日当天举办的赛事。

梅hta周一要求该案的律师就审理这一紧急请求的时间表提出建议。
这场被称为“UFC自由250”的赛事，将在92英尺高（28米）的八角形格斗笼内进行，称重仪式将在附近的林肯纪念堂举行。
周六提起的诉讼指控，国家公园管理局和内政部对该赛事的授权是非法的，应当予以撤销。
“这个国家的公共纪念场所不应被借出用于私人牟利，”原告方表示。
白宫在一份声明中称这起诉讼是“阻挠性、毫无根据且拖延时间的诉讼”，并表示该赛事“与其他在南草坪举办的白宫主办活动并无不同，且是全年在椭圆广场和国家广场获得适当许可的活动”。
诉讼主张，该赛事违反了禁止在南草坪和林肯纪念堂举办体育赛事的规定，且大型场馆结构的建造需要国会授权。
特朗普还面临其他针对白宫及华盛顿其他地区建筑项目的诉讼，包括他计划在已拆除的东翼场地建造一座9万平方英尺的宴会厅，以及他翻新并关闭约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心的提案。

WASHINGTON, June 8 (Reuters) – A federal judge in Washington has been asked to block President Donald Trump’s plan to host an Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts bout at the White House next week and to halt construction of the metal arena structure called “the Claw” on the South Lawn of the iconic executive residence.
Two Washington-area residents in a court filing on Sunday, opens new tab asked U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta to issue a temporary restraining order halting the event, scheduled to coincide with Trump’s 80th birthday on June 14.

Mehta on Monday asked the lawyers in the case to propose a schedule to hear the emergency request.
Dubbed “UFC Freedom 250″, the event is set to feature fighting inside the 92-foot-tall (28 meters), octagon-shaped cage with weigh-ins at the nearby Lincoln Memorial.
The lawsuit, filed on Saturday, alleges that authorization of the program by the National Park Service and Interior Department was unlawful and should be set aside.
“This nation’s public monuments should not be loaned out for private exploitation,” the plaintiffs said.
In a statement, the White House called the case an “obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory lawsuit” and said the event “is no different than the various other White House-hosted events on the South Lawn and properly permitted events on the Ellipse and National Mall throughout the year.”
The lawsuit contends the event violates rules barring sporting events on the South Lawn and at the Lincoln Memorial, and that construction of the large arena structure requires congressional authorization.
Trump is facing other lawsuits over construction projects on the White House and elsewhere in the capital, including his plan to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom on the site of the demolished East Wing, and his proposal to renovate and close The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
