A Vietnam War veteran and a separate activist filed a lawsuit on June 11, 2026, seeking to halt President Donald Trump's plan to host a UFC bout on the White House South Lawn on June 14, according to WION. The two plaintiffs argue the event violates federal rules governing the use of public property. The Trump administration has dismissed those concerns, insisting the event is fully legal.
