Comment

Workers removed Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., early Saturday. This action followed a judge's order.

A federal judge had set a deadline for the name to be taken down. The court ruled that only Congress has the power to name the center, which was established to honor President John F. Kennedy.

Mr. Trump's name was added last December by a board he appointed. Workers used scaffolding and screens to remove the letters overnight.

Many people gathered to watch and cheer as the name was removed. This decision came after a legal challenge from a Democratic representative, Joyce Beatty.

The judge also blocked Mr. Trump's plan to close the center for two years of renovations. Several last-minute appeals to keep the name were denied by the courts.
