  "account": "U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes has issued a one-day order to halt tree cutting at the historic East Potomac Golf Course in Washington D.C. The order came following a heated three-hour hearing where the judge expressed her frustration with the government's deception over the matter. The judge is concerned about the government's actions in cutting trees at the park over the holiday weekend with minimal notification to plaintiffs in a lawsuit seeking to halt renovation plans. The judge has ordered the government to locate a key official to explain why the tree-cutting needed to occur at the time, while the order is limited to one day and could potentially be extended to 14 days if necessary.",
