Story summary

On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that President Trump's name cannot be reinstated on the Kennedy Center without an act of Congress. In response, Trump threatened to halt the planned $257 million renovation if his name isn't added back to the building. The center’s board, controlled by Trump appointees, voted to close the facility immediately for renovations citing safety concerns after a piece of plaster fell from the ceiling during a rainstorm earlier this month. Construction crews began erecting metal fences around the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, with activists worried that the building might be demolished if legal challenges aren't resolved in Trump's favor.
