On Monday, a federal judge in Washington extended an injunction that blocks the Trump administration from removing or damaging trees on East Potomac Golf Links. The order requires the administration to give written notice ten business days before any irreparable modification to the park. Judge Ana Reyes cited President Donald Trump's Truth Social posts that contradicted sworn testimony from government employees. Trump posted on Oct. eighteen that a plan to build a world‑class championship golf course would begin Nov. fifteen, then on Oct. nineteenth claimed work would start immediately and called the judge a lunatic. The administration said it would appeal the decision and close the course for renovations.
