Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for two years starting July 4, 2026, to rebuild it, arguing the move violates federal law and requires congressional approval. flag She claims Trump lacks authority to shutter the federally established "living memorial" without such consent, warns of potential unauthorized demolition, and seeks a temporary restraining order to block the closure and ensure her participation in a March 16 trustees meeting. flag The White House defends the project as necessary to fix structural and financial issues, citing $257 million in funding, but has not released detailed renovation plans. flag The case is before Judge Christopher Reid Cooper.
