Reporters for CNN, MS NOW and Politico were blocked from entering the White House complex Thursday morning, hours after a DC federal judge ruled President Trump’s ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional.
In an eight-page order, US District Judge Tim Kelly told administration officials to immediately return reporters’ press passes that were confiscated Saturday and blocked enforcement of Trump’s ban for 14 days.
However, an unidentified Politico journalist, CNN correspondent Betsy Klein and MS NOW reporter Laura Barrón-López were denied entry after presenting themselves at a Secret Service checkpoint.

Do away with the whole mess and blame these problem child news outlets for it.
“Sorry folks, they ruined it for all of you, so check your inbox for an email from the White House. That’s how we’re doing it now”.
He cant that I know of.
The whole situation is absurd.
Taking back the country is not for the faint at heart. 😉
After 8 years of obammy, 4 years of a harried and backstabbed Trump, 4 years of the senile biden and the threat of dims taking over again, I think Trump is owed blind allegiance.
For the good of America.
Sorry we are now on a War footing. The media wants to keep insisting we are in a war that we are losing, fine. Now you will be informed on a need to know basis. Pool is closed, temporarily, for 14 days.
“Sort of like how certain judges always seem to get ‘randomly assigned’ to important cases in the DC Circuit.”
Exactly how cases are assigned in the DC Circuit...the luck of the draw.

AI Overview
And what part of the Constitution gives preference to CNN, MS NOW, and Political over any other journalists?
The treasonous Black judge is against national security concerns and protection of national security.
I have to laugh when chest-pounders throw around big words like "treason" and "treasonous" when they don't have clue what the words mean.
I agree. He needs to give them a space out by the fence and tell them this is their “area”.
Very important point.
I"m just saying that NONE of these so called 'news organizations' has even ONE reporter or editor who voted for Trump to identifies with MAGA.
How many divisions does the judge have?
Read the judge’s ruling would be best to get an answer for the question.
He can’t. But he *can* say that allowing some organizations in and not others is a violation. What he can’t additionally do, though, is say *who* the White House lets in from those organizations. They let at least one CNN and one MS NOW person in. They followed the technical order of the judge. And they can say to as many people as they want from CNN and MS NOW, “nope, not this person - send someone else.” And they can keep that up as long as CNN and MS NOW have more people to send.
The solution is simple. No more press conferences. Hand out flyers at the gate.
“I’ve been waiting my entire life for Republicans to put the enemy media in their place. Good on Trump for finally doing it.”
Agreed. Glad to have a president taking care of long overdue house cleaning. I fear unfortunately we may not see his like again. The Party has a deep bench, there’s hope yet.
