Tucson, AZ, October 27, 2026 —
A federal judge has extended an order blocking parts of the Trump administration’s renovation plans for the East Potomac Golf Course in Washington, D.C., keeping restrictions on further tree removal and modifications in place while a lawsuit over the project proceeds.
The judge issued a preliminary injunction as part of the case challenging the renovation plans. The order applies to parts of the project; the information available does not specify which other elements, if any, may continue. It also does not identify the judge, the parties bringing the lawsuit, or when the order was extended.
President Trump has vowed to appeal the ruling. No details were provided about the timing or grounds for an appeal, and the next steps in the litigation were not specified.
The injunction is a temporary measure while the legal challenge is pending, according to the summary of the ruling. The dispute concerns plans to renovate the East Potomac Golf Course, but further details about the scope, schedule or expected effects of the work were not provided.
The available information also does not state how long the extended order will remain in effect or when the court may next consider the case. Until further proceedings, the order blocks additional tree removal and modifications covered by the injunction. The lawsuit itself remains unresolved.
