U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper issued orders blocking the Trump administration from closing the Kennedy Center for renovations until 2028 and reversing efforts to add President Trump's name to the venue. The rulings stem from a lawsuit filed by Rep. Joyce Beatty and require the administration to provide updates on construction, board actions, and post-July 5 public access plans. The Kennedy Center board is scheduled to meet in mid-July to consider full closure, partial access, or other options.
