The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., has ordered its staff to remove President Donald Trump's name from the building, following a federal court ruling that deemed the name change invalid without Congressional approval. The directive, issued by the center's general counsel, requires all official documents to reflect the original name by June 12. This decision comes after a lawsuit filed by Democratic Representative Joyce Beatty, who argued against the name alteration made last December. A federal judge ruled that the center cannot be renamed without an act of Congress, leading to the requirement for all signage and references to be removed. The Kennedy Center, which opened in 1971 as a tribute to President John F. Kennedy, had previously included Trump's name as part of a broader renovation initiative he proposed for Washington's monuments. Trump's administration is now planning to transfer the center's operations back to Congress in response to the ruling.
