A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from closing East Potomac Park and its historic golf course.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued the order on Saturday, halting the planned closure of the park and its golf course.
The ruling sides with a D.C. preservation group and two local golfers who argued the closure was part of a plan to redesign the course into a championship venue.
Reyes found the administration's justifications for the closure were pretextual, stating the government was following the president's directive rather than addressing genuine safety or maintenance issues.
The temporary restraining order will remain in effect until Nov. 28, with further legal proceedings expected.
