Federal judge orders Kennedy Center to remove Trumps name from building

A US District Court judge has ordered the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to remove Donald Trump’s name from its building.

The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by a group of plaintiffs who argued that Trump’s name should be removed due to his past statements and actions. The court found in favor of the plaintiffs, stating that Trump’s name could no longer remain on the building.

As part of the ruling, the Kennedy Center will also be prohibited from closing or renaming its facilities. The decision was made after a lengthy legal battle between the center and the group of plaintiffs.

The judge’s order is effective immediately, and the Kennedy Center has stated that it will comply with the court’s instructions. The center had previously announced plans to remove Trump’s name from its building, but the lawsuit delayed the process.

The ruling has been met with a statement from Trump, who expressed his dissatisfaction with the decision.
