Federal Judge Orders White House to Restore Media Access Then Blocked

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

The White House playing cat-and-mouse with a federal court order is a dangerous game that undermines the rule of law and press freedom.

💡 Why it matters

This sets a precedent for the executive branch defying judicial orders, potentially eroding the separation of powers and the ability of the press to hold power accountable.

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration must immediately return press passes to CNN and Politico, deeming the ban likely unconstitutional. Hours later, the White House again blocked the outlets, prompting lawyers to seek an emergency court hearing.
