A federal judge effectively blocked President Donald Trump from taking immediate action to demolish the Kennedy Center, ordering on Sept. 17 that the center provide a 30-day notice to plaintiffs before any demolition or other major changes to the center‘s main building can begin.

It means the legality of any attempt to demolish the Kennedy Center ‒ which Trump has argued is necessary without substantial renovations ‒ would likely be subject to the judge‘s review during the 30-day period.
