The workers have removed Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center, complying with the court ruling.

The workers began the removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center, less than six months after it was installed. The action was carried out according to a court ruling that stipulated that the renaming of the center cannot take place without a law from Congress. The work began around 1:20 AM, after the Department of Justice requested an extension of the deadline, citing unfavorable weather conditions.

Federal Judge Christopher Cooper rejected the government's request to suspend the order to remove Trump's name, stating that only Congress can make such changes. The Kennedy Center, inaugurated in 1971 as a memorial for the assassinated President John F. Kennedy, was renamed in December 2022, but now Trump's name has been removed, complying with the court's decision. This action underscores the controversy surrounding Trump's involvement in the center's administration and its renovation plans.
