Workers in Washington, D.C. begin removing the letters spelling President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center building after a court-ordered deadline. Several outlets report the work starts early Saturday, following legal activity that included attempts to delay or challenge the ruling. NPR and PBS NewsHour describe the removal process beginning hours after a Friday deadline set by the court. Other coverage says the Kennedy Center had initially stated Trump’s name was taken off the facade, but large tarps remain in place around parts of the sign area, limiting what the public can see. Forbes highlights that the tarps continue to block onlookers’ view even after removal. Multiple outlets attribute the action to a judge’s ruling that references to Trump on the building were added illegally, and report that appeals efforts to keep the name in place fail before the removal proceeds. Mediaite and The Hindu similarly describe workers carrying out the removal after the court decision. Overall reporting is consistent that the facade changes occur under court supervision and within a specified timeline, with temporary coverings present during the transition.
