The Trump administration violated a court order by felling trees at a DC golf course without proper authorization.

New satellite imagery obtained by Bellingcat reveals the full extent of tree felling on a Washington DC golf course that has been eyed for development by President Trump. 430 trees were reportedly cut despite a judge’s order earlier this year requiring court approval to cut down more than 10 trees at the course. A “furious” U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes called an emergency hearing earlier this week, banning any further changes until later this month. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/us-canada/2026/10/15/satellite-images-show-extent-of-trump-admins-tree-felling-at-dc-golf-course-despite-furious-judges-order/?utm_source=mastodon
