周四，对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普改造华盛顿特区历史悠久的高尔夫球场计划提出异议的原告请求联邦法官，暂时阻止政府在本月晚些时候关闭东波托马克公园的一部分。
Plaintiffs challenging President Donald Trump’s plans to overhaul a historic Washington, D.C., golf course asked a federal judge Thursday to temporarily block the administration from closing part of the East Potomac Park later this month.
在一份寻求临时限制令的全新的276页动议中，华盛顿特区保护联盟与两名个人原告敦促美国地区法官安娜·雷耶斯在政府计划的11月15日关闭之前进行干预，并争辩称此举将在没有经过必要环境和历史保护审查的情况下推进特朗普的重建项目。
In a new 276-page motion seeking a temporary restraining order, the D.C. Preservation League and two individual plaintiffs urged U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes to intervene before the administration’s planned Nov. 15 closure, arguing that the move would advance Trump’s redevelopment project without required environmental and historic preservation reviews.
原告写道：“被告计划关闭东波托马克公园，这使他们准备在实施《华盛顿国家计划》的过程中迈出又一个重大步伐。在此过程中，他们对原告和公众利益构成了迫在眉睫的伤害威胁。”原告争辩称，关闭将剥夺游客使用公园休闲和历史资源的权利，从而造成不可挽回的损害。他们正在寻求一项为期14天的临时限制令，或者作为替代方案，寻求一项为期14天的暂缓令，以在法律诉讼推进的同时阻止关闭。
“Defendants’ plan to close East Potomac Park leaves them poised to take another significant step in implementing the Washington National Plan,” the plaintiffs wrote. “In doing so, they threaten imminent injury to Plaintiffs and the public interest.”The plaintiffs argue that the closure would cause irreparable harm by depriving visitors of access to the park’s recreational and historic resources. They are seeking a 14-day temporary restraining order or, alternatively, a 14-day stay preventing the closure while the legal challenge proceeds.
美国国家公园管理局此前向法院表示，计划于11月15日关闭巴克艾大道以南的东波托马克公园（包括高尔夫球场），并将其归咎于与波托马克河沿岸日渐损毁的海堤相关的安全隐患。
The National Park Service previously told the court that it intends to close East Potomac Park south of Buckeye Drive, including the golf course, on Nov. 15, citing safety concerns related to a deteriorating seawall along the Potomac River.
但原告反驳称，这些担忧并不能成为关闭整个公园的理由，反而是推进特朗普计划的借口，该计划旨在由建筑师汤姆·法齐奥设计一座锦标赛级别的高尔夫球场，以取代现有的历史悠久的高尔夫球场。
But the plaintiffs contend those concerns do not justify closing the entire park and are instead a pretext for advancing Trump’s plan to replace the existing historic golf course with a championship-style course designed by architect Tom Fazio.
在此次最新提交的文件之前，政府与法院之间围绕重建范围以及联邦官员是否坦白其计划，已经进行了数周的反复交锋。
The latest filing follows weeks of back-and-forth between the administration and the court over the scope of the redevelopment and whether federal officials have been forthcoming about their plans.
在10月26日的一项裁决中，雷耶斯阻止了该公园内进一步的砍树行为，她认定政府在未完成必需的环境审查的情况下，就已经开始实施其更广泛的重建计划。
In an Oct. 26 ruling, Reyes blocked further tree removal at the park, finding that the administration had begun implementing its broader redevelopment plans without completing required environmental reviews.
在这场争端加剧之后，特朗普公开宣布该球场将于11月15日关闭，尽管政府律师最初在法庭上拒绝确认这一时间表。
The dispute intensified after Trump publicly announced that the course would close Nov. 15, even as government attorneys initially resisted confirming that timeline in court.
联邦官员随后承认了特朗普的指令，并告知法官该公园将按计划关闭，同时坚称安全隐患独立构成了这一决定的正当理由。下一次听证会定于11月13日举行，即计划关闭日期的两天前。
Federal officials subsequently acknowledged Trump’s directive and informed the judge that the park would close as scheduled, while maintaining that safety concerns independently justified the decision. The next court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 13, two days before the planned closure.
