Key Points:
- Workers began removing Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center exterior on Saturday morning, after missing a court-ordered Friday deadline.
- A large tarp was used to obscure the removal process, with the Kennedy Center COO confirming all physical signage bearing Trump’s name had been taken down.
- A federal judge ruled in late May that the Kennedy Center board violated the law by adding Trump’s name, stating only Congress can change the center’s name from President Kennedy.
- The court ordered removal of all Trump-related signage and website references within two weeks, with the Kennedy Center and Justice Department’s appeals against the ruling denied.
- Mentions of the “Trump-Kennedy Center” have already been removed from the Kennedy Center’s website ahead of the signage removal deadline.
