The order comes after Trump was photographed onboard Air Force One looking at a poster with a headline that appeared to tout the demolition of the site.

US District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered a detailed report of the centre's "temporary closure" for emergency repairs, and for written notice of any change to the scope of the project.

In May, Cooper ordered the removal of Trump's name from the building.
