BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

EMERGENCY MOTION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER OR, ALTERNATIVELY, FOR A 14-DAY STAY UNDER SECTION 705 OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ACT Plaintiffs hereby move the Court to enter a 14-day temporary restraining order under Rule 65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or, alternatively, for a 14-day stay under 5 U.S.C. § 705. Despite the Court's admonitions not to "get to a point where someone is telling me, from the government, that it's too late, too many things have happened and now we are, like, moving Case 1:26-cv-00477-ACR Document 76 Filed 10/11/26 Page 2 of 4 forward and we can't, you know, stop the trains," Status Conf. Tr. ("Apr. 13 Tr.") at 18:15-19:10, Apr. 13, 2026, Defendants have begun irreversible damage to East Potomac Golf Course. At 4:55 p.m. on Friday preceding the holiday weekend, Defendants announced their intent to begin-barely 12 hours later—a massive operation to clear 529 trees at East Potomac Golf Course. Decl. of Dr. Kevin Griess, Superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks, National Park Service 920, ECF 74-1. Although they initially represented that their work would proceed in stages, Defendants in fact took down 529 trees on Saturday alone and have confirmed to Plaintiffs that they intend to take down hundreds more. Defendants' surprise tree-razing operation constitutes classic National Environmental Policy Act segmentation: undertaking elements of a larger project piecemeal and insisting that they are independent and therefore need not be evaluated in a single NEPA review of the entire project. Defendants cannot circumvent their NEPA obligations in this manner. Delaware Riverkeeper Network v. F.E.R.C., 753 F.3d 1304, 1313 (D.C. Cir. 2014).Therefore, and for the reasons explained in the Memorandum accompanying this Motion and supporting exhibits, the Court should enter a 14-day temporary restraining order under Rule 65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or, alternatively, a 14-day stay under 5 U.S.C. § 705, enjoining Defendants from any further tree felling at East Potomac Park. In addition, the Court should order Defendants to provide the Court and Plaintiffs no less than three business days' written advance notice before any irreparable modification to any permanent forms or features of East Potomac Park. If the Court believes a hearing would be appropriate, Plaintiffs request a hearing on this motion at the Court's first availability. At the parties' meet and confer on Sunday afternoon, Defendants represented that the tree-clearing operation would continue this week until completed. Defendants indicated during the meet and confer that rain foreclosed any work on 3 Case 1:26-CV-00477-ACR Document 76 Filed 10/11/26 Page 4 of 4 Sunday, and that the possibility of doing work on Monday depended on weather and the course's condition. Depending on Defendants' plans, then, it is possible that no work will occur on Monday.

Soboroff is probably the best reporter on ICE and immigration enforcement. And to his credit, he doesn't let his foot off the gas on Mamdani here.

Just drove all the way to North Bergen to check out this store I thought looked really rad & had a few things in mind to buy & literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it. Wow, dude. They treated me like I was Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. I’m never going to this Walmart again!
