(FILES) Hains Point and the East Potomac Golf Links, including a mound of debris from the White House's East Wing project, is seen in Washington, DC, September 1, 2026. A US federal judge on October 13, 2026, extended a halt on tree-cutting at a Washington golf course at East Potomac Park until October 26, pausing work at the historic site that is part of President Donald Trump's plan to remake the capital. Judge Ana Reyes issued an emergency order on Monday halting further tree removal, in a victory for environmental advocates, who estimated that about 500 trees were felled at the site over the weekend and hundreds more were slated to be cut down later in the week.
