WASHINGTON, D.C. (TIP): A federal judge in Washington on Friday, June 12, 2026, declined a request to temporarily pause an order to remove President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said he would not lift the order while a federal appeals court considers his ruling that only Congress could rename the venue memorializing former President John F. Kennedy in the nation’s capital.
The Trump administration appealed the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which also rejected the government’s pause request later on Friday, June 12, 2026. Attorneys for Democratic U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty of Ohio, who brought the lawsuit, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did spokespersons for the Justice Department, the White House and the Kennedy Centre.
Cooper ruled on May 29 that only Congress could rename the arts Center. His order had required Mr. Trump’s name to be removed from the building’s facade, its website and other materials by 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, June 12, 2026.
Lawyers for the administration had asked the appeals court to pause the order, arguing: “It does not make sense to alter the Centre’s name and signage now, only to potentially revert the name again after what should be a successful appeal.”
The Kennedy Centre opened in 1971 as a living memorial to the late president, who was slain in 1963. After Mr. Trump last year replaced several members of the board, the group voted in December to alter the center’s name to include him.
Mr. Trump in February announced a two-year closure of the Centre for a major renovation effort. The Republican leader has made a broader push to reshape Washington’s monumental core, including plans for a 250-foot (76-meter) arch and a 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the site of the demolished East Wing of the White House.
