一名联邦法官周五叫停了肯尼迪艺术中心临时关门进行为期多年翻新的计划,并认定该中心董事会将唐纳德·特朗普总统的姓名加入这座历史悠久的艺术场馆的行为违反了法律。
美国地区法官凯西·库珀作出裁决称,设立肯尼迪艺术中心的法律“明确表明,该中心只能以肯尼迪总统的名字命名,董事会单方面决定添加其他任何正式名称或公共纪念标识的做法均属违法”。
“国会为肯尼迪艺术中心定下了名称,也只有国会才能更改它,”库珀在长达94页的判决书中写道。
库珀裁定,相关官员必须在两周内拆除肯尼迪艺术中心内所有带有特朗普姓名的标识,并更新官网,移除所有提及“特朗普肯尼迪中心”或“唐纳德·J·特朗普与约翰·F·肯尼迪纪念表演艺术中心”的内容。
他表示,该中心将被永久禁止“在肯尼迪艺术中心建筑或场地内展示、安装或维护任何旨在表明、暗示该机构并非以约翰·F·肯尼迪总统名字命名的实体或数字标识”。
CNN已联系肯尼迪艺术中心和白宫寻求置评。

作为前总统巴拉克·奥巴马的任命官员,库珀表示,肯尼迪艺术中心仍可推进这座已有数十年历史的建筑的翻新工程,也可在董事会全面评估关闭举措对其法定持续举办部分演出的义务造成的影响后,再决定是否关闭场馆。
“没有证据表明董事会在认定全面关闭肯尼迪艺术中心是合适之举时,考虑了其全部法定职责范围,”他在周五发布的长篇判决书中写道,“简而言之,法庭面前没有任何证据显示,肯尼迪艺术中心董事会曾考虑过在关闭期间如何完成其全部立法授权的任务。”

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Kennedy Center from temporarily closing its doors for a yearslong renovation and said its board violated the law when it added President Donald Trump’s name to the historic performing arts venue.
US District Judge Casey Cooper concluded that the law establishing the center “makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so.”
“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,” Cooper wrote in his 94-page opinion.
Within two weeks, Cooper ruled, officials must remove any signage from the Kennedy Center that includes Trump’s name and update its website to remove all references to the name “Trump Kennedy Center” or the “Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”
He said the center was permanently blocked from “displaying, installing, or maintaining any physical or digital signage on the Kennedy Center building or grounds that designates, suggests, or implies that the institution is named for any person other than President John F. Kennedy.”
CNN has reached out to the Kennedy Center and White House for comment.

Cooper, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, said the center may still move ahead with renovations to the decades-old building and could later decide to close down the center after its board more fully considered the impact such a move would have on its statutory requirement to maintain some programming at all times.
“There is no evidence that the Board took account of its full range of statutory obligations in determining that a wholesale shuttering of the Kennedy Center was appropriate,” he wrote in a lengthy ruling issued Friday. “In short, there is no evidence before the Court that the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees considered how it would accomplish its full legislative mandate during the closure period.”
