Federal Judge Temporarily Halts Tree Cutting at Washington Golf Course Amid Legal Dispute
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes ordered a 24-hour halt to tree cutting at Washington's East Potomac Golf Course after the Trump administration removed over 400 mature trees during a holiday weekend without notifying the court. The judge criticized the government for disregarding prior instructions and demanded officials involved in the decision to testify. The temporary order may extend up to 14 days as the court seeks clarity on the authorization and connection to President Trump's redevelopment plans for the public golf course.
