Description

Last week, NPR reported that an official at the Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) had a confrontation with Trump campaign staff members who were filming and taking photos in a restricted area of the cemetery. That area, named Section 60, is reserved for soldiers killed while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Arlington has strict rules against photography and filming for political purposes in the cemetery, and NPR reported that ANC officials told Trump staffers that only ANC staff were permitted to take photos in Section 60.
