Rep. Joyce Beatty remains a warrior in the fight to protect the Kennedy Center.
She filed an emergency motion in court today over the unlawful closure of the theater complex.
She says that a staff member was locked out of the building this morning, which is contrary to Judge Cooper’s most recent judgment.
The worry is that Trump will start demolishing the Kennedy Center the way he did the East Wing of the White House.
Beatty says in her motion:
“The staff member was informed that construction is beginning on the interior
of the building and that the public is completely barred from accessing the facility for “safety reasons.” To be sure, the Court’s order does not prevent Defendants from undertaking renovations and repairs without shutting down. But at this time, the nature of the construction activities and
any potential demolition are unclear. Given the unexplained and unlawful closure, it is possible Defendants intend to undertake immediate steps in order to make public access practically impossible for the foreseeable future, including by demolishing public avenues of access to the building, and thereby evade the Court’s order by fait accompli.”
