Days after the Kennedy Center removed President Donald Trump’s name from the building’s facade to comply with a court order, a large tarp still blocks the signage from public view—and a new court ruling orders the center to provide updates on its construction plans.

Though the Kennedy Center says Trump’s name is no longer affixed to the building, onlookers haven’t been able to see it for themselves as a huge tarp has stood in front of the building for days, leaving just a few letters from the center’s original name peeking out.
The tarp is still up as of Wednesday morning, according to pictures captured by the Associated Press.
In a court filing on Saturday, lawyers representing the Kennedy Center said it is now in “full compliance” with the court order to ditch Trump’s name, specifically noting it has “removed signage ‘that purports to rename the Kennedy Center after President Trump.’”
