On November 15, 2026, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from closing East Potomac Park and its golf course in Washington, D.C., which were scheduled to close on Sunday for 15 months. The judge's decision came after she grilled Justice Department lawyers for hours on Friday regarding the planned closure. Preservation groups and local golfers had sought an emergency court order to prevent the shutdown, arguing that the administration was using safety concerns as a pretext to advance Trump's plan to transform the historic public facility into a championship-level golf course. Trump criticized the judge's decision in a Truth Social post, calling her a "crazed lunatic." The renovation project, initiated in February by the DC Preservation League and two local golfers, aims to turn the nearly 400-acre public park into a world-class venue, potentially attracting major tournaments like the U.S. Open and Ryder Cup.

Federal judge blocks effort to close DC-area golf course so Trump can renovate
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, issued a temporary restraining order imposing a two-week delay.
A federal judge on Saturday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from closing a golf course on federal lands near the nation's capital that the president wants to renovate.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, issued a temporary restraining order imposing a two-week delay before the East Potomac Golf Links was set to close Sunday for a year of renovations.
The plaintiffs sued months ago, claiming the renovations will change the nature of the course and make it more expensive, something President Donald Trump disputes.
Trump has called the course "Trash Island," saying its fairways are too close and its design an impediment to attracting golfers.
Power moves that Trump, Republicans can execute during lame duck Congress to pigeonhole Democrats
Between a legislature subject to presidential veto, his powers of the pardon and the hue and cry of "revenge" from Democrats publicly targeting Trump and his administration members, Trump may be emboldened to act unilaterally on several issues before the "Blue Wave" actually washes ashore.
Power moves that Trump, Republicans can execute during lame duck Congress to pigeonhole Democrats
Between a legislature subject to presidential veto, his powers of the pardon and the hue and cry of "revenge" from Democrats publicly targeting Trump and his administration members, Trump may be emboldened to act unilaterally on several issues before the "Blue Wave" actually washes ashore.
Such a move would require only 51 votes in the Senate, bypassing the blockade of a filibuster rule, then allow Trump to use his veto pen to thwart Democrat efforts in the next Congress to overturn his priorities, thus securing them through the 2028 election.
"I think we ought to do another reconciliation package and fund some of these programs and agencies that we know that the Democrats are going to target," Hageman said during a wide-ranging interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show.
