The Kennedy Center\u2019s board of trustees voted Thursday to challenge a federal judge\u2019s order requiring President Donald Trump\u2019s name to be removed from the performing arts center.<\/p>\n

According to court filings, the board formally appealed US District Judge Christopher Cooper\u2019s ruling just before the court-imposed deadline for removing Trump\u2019s name from the building and related materials.<\/p>\n

Earlier Thursday, the board also voted to seek a stay of Cooper\u2019s order, according to two individuals familiar with the meeting who spoke to The Washington Post.<\/p>\n

To obtain a stay, attorneys for the center must demonstrate a likelihood of success on appeal and argue that removing Trump\u2019s name would cause irreparable harm.<\/p>\n

The dispute stems from Cooper\u2019s earlier ruling against the Trump administration and the Kennedy Center board.<\/p>\n

The judge ordered Trump\u2019s name removed from the exterior of the building, the center\u2019s website, merchandise and other materials associated with the institution. Cooper also blocked a planned two-year closure for renovations, finding the move unlawful.<\/p>\n

The court had given the Kennedy Center until June 12 to comply with the order.<\/p>\n

Cooper sided with Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-OH, an ex officio member of the board who challenged the decision to rename the center.<\/p>\n

The judge concluded that Congress established the institution as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy following his assassination and that the board lacked the authority to alter that designation.<\/p>\n

Before filing its appeal, Kennedy Center officials indicated they would comply with the court\u2019s order while weighing further legal action.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are complying with the court\u2019s order while evaluating all legal options to preserve this revitalization and recognize President Trump\u2019s leadership,\u201d Roma Daravi, the center\u2019s vice president of public relations, previously said.<\/p>\n

The center has already removed Trump\u2019s name from several official platforms, including its website, YouTube channel and invitations to its annual honors ceremony.<\/p>\n

However, references to Trump remained visible Thursday on the Kennedy Center\u2019s Instagram, Facebook and X social media accounts.<\/p>\n
