A federal judge has mandated the removal of President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, determining that the renowned Washington performing arts venue cannot undergo a name change without congressional authorization.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper issued the ruling on Friday, instructing the Trump administration to remove all physical signs displaying Trump’s name and eliminate any mention of a “Trump Kennedy Center” from official documents within a two-week timeframe.
The decision comes after the administration attempted to rename the famous Washington cultural institution.
