A coalition of preservation groups and architecture organizations filed a federal lawsuit on March 23 aiming to halt planned renovations at the Trump–Kennedy Center in Washington.

The groups, which include the DC Preservation League, alleged that the Trump administration did not follow procedures outlined under federal law for implementing large-scale changes to historic properties.
