A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt work on a historic D.C. golf course until Oct. 26, pending more court action. The golf course has been part of President Donald Trump’s plans to remake the city. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued the order Tuesday, one day after a tense three-hour hearing in which she harshly criticized the government for having deceived her with its actions over the holiday weekend. At that hearing on Monday, Reyes ordered a 24-hour halt to tree-cutting and  said the temporary order could be extended to 14 days if necessary. It was limited to one day while the government tries to find a key Trump administration official to discuss why a massive tree-cutting at the park needed to occur over the holiday weekend.
