U.S. Judge Extends Order Blocking Tree Cutting at East Potomac Golf Links
U. S. District Judge Ana Reyes on 13 October ordered that the temporary restraining order halting tree removal at the historic East Potomac Golf Links be extended through 26 October, keeping the course closed to further clearing. The dispute began on 8 October when the National Park Service announced plans to cut down more than 500 trees at the Washington, D.
C. , golf course as part of a renovation tied to the Trump administration’s upgrade proposal. Judge Reyes then issued an emergency 24-hour pause, later rebuked the administration for removing over 400 trees without notice, and imposed a temporary injunction that requires advance notice before any additional work.
