Judge orders Kennedy Center to provide 30 days' notice before making any major physical changes

The Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board, chaired by the president, voted to close the center after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper blocked the institution from returning President Donald Trump's name to the building.

Judge orders Kennedy Center to provide 30 days' notice before making any major physical changes

A federal judge issued an order on Sept 17 requiring US President Donald Trump's administration to provide a minimum of 30 days notice before any actions to demolish the Kennedy Centre. This decision came after Trump suggested the landmark venue could be torn down if his plans for the site were not followed. The order was issued by US District Judge Christopher Cooper, following new evidence submitted by lawyers representing Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, who is suing to keep the venue open.

Beatty argues that the closure of the venue is a setup for indefinite shutdown and eventual demolition.
