On May 29, it was announced that President Donald Trump's decision to partially rename the historic cultural center after himself violated the law - only Congress can decide such a thing. The president appealed, but the appeal was rejected by a judge on Friday.
A crowd is now waiting beneath scaffolding erected outside the cultural center for the sign to be taken down in the early hours of Saturday, local time. Several of those gathered chanted "Take down the sign!" repeatedly. Work is being hampered by bad weather in the Washington area.
