The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts faces a Friday deadline to strip President Trump’s name from the Washington facility after a judge turned down a request to halt the court-mandated removal.
The cultural institution attempted to challenge the ruling through an appeal, but that effort was also denied on Friday evening.
Construction crews were seen assembling scaffolding beneath the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts signage on Friday as the deadline approached.
The court order requires all references to President Trump to be eliminated from the building by the end of the day Friday.
