The Trump administration filed an appeal on Thursday challenging a judge’s order that the president’s name must be removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts and that the center can’t be closed for two years for renovations.

The appeal was filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
