⚡️🇺🇸 — Politico, MS NOW and CNN reporters were denied access to the White House on Thursday, only hours after U.S. District Judge Tim Kelly ruled President Donald Trump’s ban on the three outlets likely unconstitutional and ordered their access immediately restored. Kelly’s overnight order blocked the ban for 14 days, a setback for Trump in his dispute with the media — Reuters.

➡️ Politico reported its reporter’s White House credentials were confiscated, an MS NOW reporter said she was blocked from entering, and CNN reported some staff were denied entry to the White House grounds. Speaking outside the White House complex, MS NOW’s Laura Barrón-López said it was unclear whether her exclusion represented defiance of the court order or a problem with the White House entry system.

➡️ Kelly wrote the revocation of the journalists’ White House credentials “likely violated their constitutional due process rights” and questioned the Justice Department’s national-security rationale for the ban, noting Trump himself had attributed the action to what he described as false or negative coverage.
