News organizations ask court to bar White House enforcement of access ban until case is resolved
Americas3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported17m ago
Three news organizations—CNN, MS NOW, and Politico—filed a request in court late Monday asking a federal judge to block the Trump administration from enforcing a White House press ban while their ongoing lawsuit is resolved.
The outlets, which were banished from White House grounds, are seeking to extend a temporary judicial order that restored their access. In their September 21 lawsuit, the organizations argued that the ban constitutes unlawful viewpoint discrimination in violation of their First Amendment rights to a free press, describing the administration's actions as an unlawful assault on fundamental constitutional principles.
According to the court filings, the news organizations stated that the Trump administration has persisted in unpredictably and inconsistently implementing the access ban despite ongoing judicial intervention.
