The Kennedy Center’s trustees have decided to challenge a federal judge’s order to remove Donald Trump’s name from the performing arts center.

On Thursday, the board members voted to request a last-minute stay on the directive issued by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper. They wish to maintain Trump’s name on the center’s exterior while appealing the judge’s decision. Judge Cooper ruled that renaming the center was not legal.

The decision to seek a stay comes as the deadline for removing the name approaches, with the judge’s order requiring action by Friday. The meeting where this decision was made involved discussions among trustees, and some attendees have shared information on the condition of anonymity due to concerns about potential consequences.
