Judge freezes East Potomac golf course work after 430 trees felled over weekend

Judge Ana Reyes has halted all work at the East Potomac golf course until October 26 after the Trump administration felled over 400 trees over the weekend with minimal notice. The judge accused the government of breaching trust and ordered testimony from senior officials to determine who authorized the removals. The dispute centers on President Trump's plan to convert the historic public course into a championship venue, which preservationists argue is being advanced through unauthorized tree removals.

Judge Ana Reyes Halts D.C. Golf Course Tree Removals for Two Weeks After Weekend Blitz

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary restraining order on October 13, 2026, barring the Trump administration from removing any further trees at East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C., through October 26. The order follows a weekend where the National Park Service felled approximately 430 to 529 trees, including healthy oaks and maples, with minimal notice to the court. Reyes demanded testimony from senior Interior Department and National Park Service officials on October 19 to determine who authorized the removals and whether the government intentionally evaded prior court orders. The dispute centers on President Trump’s plan to convert the historic public course into a high-end championship venue, a move opposed by the D.C. Preservation League and local golfers.
