华盛顿讯 —— 一名联邦法官周五驳回了特朗普政府为阻止移除肯尼迪中心内特朗普总统姓名而提出的最后尝试。此前法院已下达命令,要求周五前完成姓名移除。
美国地区法院法官克里斯托弗·库珀上月裁定,将总统姓名添加至约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心的行为违法,并下令移除该姓名。特朗普政府于周四表示将就该裁决提起上诉。周五,库珀驳回了针对其永久禁令暂缓执行的上诉请求,这意味着法院命令不会暂停,原定截止日期依然有效。
库珀在一份简短的判决书中阐述了驳回暂缓请求的理由。
“最为关键的是,基于本院最初裁决中详述的详尽理由,被告未能‘充分证明其上诉在实体问题上有可能胜诉’,”法官写道,“被告也未能证明‘若不暂缓执行,其将遭受无法弥补的损害’。”
周五,有人看到工人在肯尼迪中心外悬挂标识牌的脚手架。

该中心由与特朗普立场一致的董事会管理,去年12月投票通过将总统姓名加入机构名称,将其更名为“特朗普-肯尼迪中心”。该中心是美国首都首屈一指的艺术场馆,由国会设立,旨在纪念约翰·F·肯尼迪总统。
一名身为董事会成员的民主党国会议员在法庭上对这一更名举动提出质疑。今年5月,库珀裁定只有国会有权批准该机构的更名,并设定6月12日为执行法院命令的截止日期。
本月早些时候,哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获悉,该中心的律师已指示员工立即启动将场馆名称改回原名的流程。这些要求出自该中心总法律顾问发送的一份备忘录,已被CBS新闻获取。
库珀的原始裁决同时阻止了政府和董事会将该中心关闭近两年进行大规模翻新的计划。
肯尼迪中心官网已在多数在线资料中移除了总统姓名。
特朗普去年连任就职后不久便采取行动,在该中心留下自己的印记:他罢免了董事会中由民主党任命的成员,转而安插盟友和政府高级官员。总统及其盟友还试图改变该中心的演出类型。

Judge denies last-minute attempt to stop removal of Trump’s name from Kennedy Center

Washington — A federal judge on Friday denied a last-minute attempt by the Trump administration to stop the removal of President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, following an earlier order that set a deadline of Friday for the name to come down.
U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper determined last month that the president’s name was illegally added to The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and ordered that it be removed. The Trump administration said it would appeal that ruling on Thursday. On Friday, Cooper denied a request for a stay of his permanent injunction pending appeal, meaning his order won’t be paused and the deadline stands.
Cooper laid out his reasoning for denying the request for a stay in a brief order.
“Most notably, for the detailed reasons laid out in the Court’s initial ruling, Defendants have not ‘made a strong showing that [they] are likely to succeed on the merits’ of any appeal,” the judge wrote. “Nor have Defendants demonstrated that they ‘will be irreparably injured absent a stay.’”

The center, run by a Trump-aligned board of trustees, voted in December to add the president’s name to the institution, rebranding it as the Trump-Kennedy Center. The center is the premier arts venue in the nation’s capital and was established by Congress as a memorial to President John F. Kennedy.
A Democratic member of Congress who sits on the board challenged the move in court. In May, Cooper ruled that only Congress could approve a name change to the institution and set a deadline of June 12 for complying with his order.
Earlier this month, CBS News reported that lawyers for the center were instructing staff to immediately begin the process of switching the name of the facility back to its original title. The instructions were laid out in a memo sent by the center’s general counsel and obtained by CBS News.
Cooper’s original order also blocked plans by the administration and trustees to close the center for nearly two years for major renovations.
The Kennedy Center’s website has already removed the president’s name from much of its online material.
Mr. Trump made moves to put his mark on the center soon after his return to office last year, removing Democratic-appointed members of the board and installing allies and top administration officials instead. The president and his allies also sought to make changes to the types of performances at the institution.
