I haven't looked too deep into this topic, all I have read is that it's illegal to take pictures in the area where the pictures were taken.
Has this been debunked or is this true? I haven't seen an actual argument in support of the pictures taken being done so legally.
Hopefully someone can provide an actual argument why it was legal to take pictures? I've only seen emotional appeals and whataboutism with Biden staring at his watch.
The US Army has issued a statement condemning the Trump campaign and standing up for the employee who was shoved to the ground by Trump's staff.

The Army is defending an Arlington National Cemetery employee whom it says has been "unfairly attacked" in the wake of a confrontation with campaign staffers during former President Donald Trump's visit to the cemetery earlier this week.
In a relatively strong statement for a military service, the Army said Thursday that the employee "acted with professionalism" when she sought to remind the campaign about federal laws and policies banning political activities on cemetery grounds.
"An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside," the Army said in its statement, using an acronym for the military cemetery.
"This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked," the statement added. "ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the armed forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation's fallen deserve."
As the article notes, Trump's campaign was told about the laws beforehand.
But ahead of the visit, Trump campaign staff was given a document detailing laws and regulations they needed to follow while there that "prohibit political campaign or election-related activities," according to a copy of the document obtained by Military.com.
"Photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support, of a partisan political candidate's campaign are NOT permitted on the ANC installation," the document says.
Photos and video of the visit have since been used on Trump's TikTok account, his campaign co-chair's X account, and a campaign fundraising email from Utah's governor, among other political uses.
