A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump’s name must be removed from the Kennedy Center, saying the venue cannot be renamed without approval from Congress.
The court ordered all signs and official references to the “Trump Kennedy Center” to be removed within 14 days, calling the rebranding unlawful under federal law. The ruling also blocks plans to temporarily close the historic performing arts center for major renovations.
Supporters of the decision say the Kennedy Center should remain dedicated solely to President John F. Kennedy, while Trump allies have already signaled they plan to appeal.
