Judge Blocks Trump Name

A federal judge said Trump's name must be removed from the Kennedy Center building and website, and temporarily blocked a two-year closure for renovations while the lawsuit continues.

1. Frame 1Judge Christopher Cooper rules Trump signs must come off the Kennedy Center during a federal board-authority lawsuit.
2. Frame 2The court said Congress named the performing arts center for President John F. Kennedy, and only Congress can change it.
3. Frame 3The order also paused a planned two-year renovation closure, keeping the Washington venue open for programming for now.
4. Frame 4Rep. Joyce Beatty, a congressional board member, sued after the board moved to rename the center by itself.
5. Frame 5The administration has 14 days to remove physical signage and official references to a Trump Kennedy Center.
6. Frame 6The next legal test is whether the board can revive or appeal the renaming and closure plans.
