Media outlets access to White House restored after a chaotic few hours

The White House reinstated access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico after a federal judge ruled that Donald Trump's ban was likely unconstitutional and ordered their immediate return. Despite the ruling, the journalists were blocked for several hours, prompting the outlets to seek an emergency hearing. Judge Timothy Kelly stated they met the legal threshold for a temporary restraining order, effective for 14 days, and were likely to succeed in showing their press passes were revoked without due process. This incident is part of ongoing tensions over press freedom amid high-profile international events including Chinese leader Xi Jinping's visit and the UN General Assembly.
