A permanent injunction is a final court order that requires a party to permanently stop or perform specific actions. In the legal battles surrounding the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a federal judge issued a permanent injunction permanently barring officials from using any materials that suggest the venue is named for anyone other than John F. Kennedy.

The Kennedy Center Context
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper issued twin rulings regarding the cultural venue, cementing two major protections:

The Permanent Injunction on Naming:
The judge ruled that the Kennedy Center board's decision to add Donald Trump's name to the official building and website was illegal without Congressional approval. The permanent injunction legally prohibits the Center from using any physical signs, digital text, press releases, or contracts that suggest the center is named for anyone other than John F. Kennedy.

The Preliminary Injunction on Closure:
The judge also issued a preliminary injunction that temporarily blocks the Trump administration's plans to temporarily shut down the venue for two years of major renovations, forcing the board to reconsider its closure plans in a lawful manner.
