Workers stripped President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center facade early Saturday, June 14 — hours after a court-ordered Friday deadline had passed to remove references to Trump from the building.
The removal was completed overnight, according to NPR, which cited a photo by Alex Wroblewski documenting the finished work on the building’s exterior.
The court order
A federal court set Friday, June 13, as the deadline for the Kennedy Center to pull Trump’s name from the structure. Workers didn’t finish in time — but the job was done by early Saturday morning. The specific court and judge behind the order weren’t identified in the available reporting.
It isn’t clear what prompted the legal action or who brought the case. No ruling details were released ahead of this report, and the Kennedy Center didn’t immediately comment publicly on the timeline.
Whether any penalties attached to missing the Friday cutoff hasn’t been disclosed.
