Judge extends court-ordered block on Trump’s renovation plans for public golf course in Washington

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes barred the government from removing more trees and required 10 days' notice as the lawsuit continues.

  • A federal judge agreed Monday to extend an order blocking President Donald Trump's renovation plans for the East Potomac Golf Course in Washington, requiring 10 days' written notice before any modifications.
  • Workers removed at least 400 trees from the course over a holiday weekend without warning, prompting The Court to intervene after Reyes had previously ordered a temporary suspension of work.
  • Reyes rejected the Department's request to recuse herself, which alleged "egregious" behavior, while emphasizing the case requires reconciling presidential assertions with sworn testimony from government employees.
  • Democracy Forward President and CEO Skye Perryman called the ruling "a big win that will rightly protect East Potomac Park," while Reyes wrote, "I am not the Lorax. I do not speak for the trees."
  • This dispute is part of President Donald Trump's broader campaign to reshape Washington's historic landscape, including plans for a White House ballroom and altering the Kennedy Center.
