Judge Upholds Order to Remove Trumps Name from John F. Kennedy Center
June 13, 2026 • Google News World
A federal judge has upheld an order requiring the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to remove Donald Trump’s name from its branding.
The decision comes after a lawsuit filed by a group of plaintiffs, who argued that Trump’s association with the center was inconsistent with its mission and values. The court had previously set a deadline for the removal of Trump’s name, which is now expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
Construction crews have begun installing scaffolding at the Kennedy Center as part of the removal process. The work is being carried out by contractors hired by the center’s management team.
In related news, the Kennedy Center has announced that it will be honoring comedian Bill Maher with its annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place later this year.
A separate court case involving a last-minute bid to pause the removal of Trump’s name from the center was rejected by a federal judge.
