Appeals Court Orders Removal of Trump's Name from Kennedy Center

An appeals court has upheld a federal judge's ruling requiring the Kennedy Center to remove Donald Trump's name from its building by the end of Friday. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals denied the center's request to delay compliance with the ruling, which mandates the removal of Trump's name from the venue's façade, website, and promotional materials. The court did not provide a detailed explanation for its decision. The ruling follows concerns from the Justice Department that compliance could lead to the return of hundreds of millions of dollars in private donations due to existing bylaws. As the legal situation continues, workers have begun assembling scaffolding to facilitate the removal process. Representative Joyce Beatty, who has been involved in the legal challenge, expressed her support for the removal efforts during a visit to the site.
