Workers began the process of prying “Donald J. Trump” off the facade of Kennedy Center in the early morning hours on Saturday, after a court found the president’s renaming of the Washington, D.C., landmark was illegal.

After crews set up scaffolding Friday in front of the Kennedy Center, they started pulling off the letters from the building just past 3 a.m. Saturday behind “heavy white tarps” that obscured views of the removal, according to the New York Times. They ended the work and departed about an hour later, the Times reported.
