特朗普政府官员对计划中的白宫UFC赛事的批评者作出回击，称他们完全可以避开这场赛事，而非通过临阵诉讼阻止数千观众在南草坪聚集。
“只要在那个周末转移视线就足够简单了，”司法部律师在本周提交给法院的文件中写道。“相反，他们试图借助联邦法院的权力，将他们的个人偏好强加给全国其他民众，并毁掉这场旨在庆祝美利坚合众国的活动。”
白宫南草坪上的UFC赛事筹备工作已开展数周，其中包括安装一座约90英尺高的钢制拱门，被称为“利爪”。上周末，公共诚信项目代表两名弗吉尼亚州居民提起诉讼，试图阻止该赛事，促使政府敦促美国地区法官阿米特·P·梅塔驳回原告的诉求。
该诉讼针对国家公园管理局和内政部，寻求紧急禁令以叫停这场预计将吸引4000名观众前往白宫的赛事。

2026年5月26日，华盛顿特区，为纪念美利坚合众国250周年、由唐纳德·特朗普总统主办的UFC赛事举办前夕，白宫南草坪的施工仍在继续。
在这份简短的文件中，司法部律师写道，赛事已投入超过6000万美元，观众已规划好行程，选手也已开始进行最终减重。
他们还指出，这场赛事已筹备数月，特朗普总统最早于2025年7月宣布了这场比赛。
“这是一起阻挠性、毫无根据且故意拖延的诉讼，其唯一目的就是阻止特朗普总统举办这场无疑将成为我国建国250周年庆祝活动期间最具历史意义的体育赛事之一，”一名白宫官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
这名白宫官员补充道：“这场标志性赛事与全年在南草坪举办的其他各类白宫活动、以及在椭圆广场和国家 Mall 获得正当许可的活动并无不同。”

原告方辩称，该赛事将干扰白宫和国家广场区域，并将赛事搭建描述为“令人厌恶”。
原告方主张，赛事组织者无视联邦许可规定，跳过了环境审查，并引发了利益冲突担忧，他们援引了国家公园管理局的规定和《国家环境政策法案》（NEPA）。他们还称，“利爪”拱门的建造需要获得国会授权。
政府官员回应称，原告并非被迫观看这场比赛，他们的观点并不比支持这场赛事的民众“更优越”。
“然而，就在最后一刻，这一切希望都可能因为两个人的心血来潮而破灭——他们自认为品味更高，想要毁掉所有人都能享受的这场活动，”司法部律师写道。

Trump admin offers blunt advice to White House UFC critics as 11th-hour lawsuit looms

Administration officials call the suit ‘obstructionist’ and ‘baseless,’ noting fighters have already begun weight cuts

Trump administration officials fired back at critics of the planned White House UFC fight, arguing they can simply avoid the event rather than use an 11th-hour lawsuit to block thousands of spectators from gathering on the South Lawn.
“It would be easy enough to simply avert their gazes for the weekend,” Department of Justice attorneys wrote in a court filing this week. “Instead, they seek to enlist the power of a federal court to impose their idiosyncratic preferences on the rest of the country and ruin an event designed to celebrate the United States of America.”
Preparations for the UFC match have been underway on the South Lawn of the White House for weeks, including the installation of a roughly 90-foot-tall steel arch, dubbed the “claw.” The Public Integrity Project filed a lawsuit over the weekend on behalf of two Virginia residents in an effort to block the event, sparking the government to urge U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta to reject the plaintiffs’ bid.
The suit targets the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior to seek an emergency injunction to stop the event, which is expected to attract 4,000 spectators to the White House.
DANA WHITE DENIES AMERICA 250 UFC FIGHT AT WHITE HOUSE WILL BE ‘POLITICAL,’ ‘NOT AT ALL’ ABOUT POLITICS
Construction continues on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on May 26, 2026, ahead of a UFC match hosted by President Donald Trump to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States.
In the brief, DOJ attorneys wrote that more than $60 million has already been spent, attendees have made travel plans, and the fighters have already begun final weight cuts.
They also noted the event has been planned for months, with President Trump first announcing the match in July 2025.
“This is an obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory lawsuit brought simply to prevent President Trump from hosting what will undoubtedly go down as one of the most historic sporting events in our Nation’s history during our semiquincentennial celebration,” a White House official told Fox News Digital.
“This iconic 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 White House official added.

Plaintiffs argued that the event will interfere with the White House and National Mall area while describing its setup as “hideous.”
The plaintiffs argued that organizers ignored federal permitting rules, skipped environmental reviews and triggered conflict-of-interest concerns invoking National Park Service regulations and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). They also said the”claw” needed to be built with congressional authorization.
Officials responded that the plaintiffs are not forced to watch the fight and their opinions are not “superior” to those who support the match.
“All these hopes could be dashed at the very last moment, however, by the whim of two people who believe they have superior taste and want to spoil the event for everyone else,” the DOJ attorneys wrote.

The plaintiffs must respond with their final brief by 9 p.m. Wednesday.
