Federal Judge Extends Block on Trump Administration's Media Ban

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction, continuing to block the Trump administration's effort to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from accessing the White House.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly's order mandates that the defendants must maintain the current status quo while the legal case proceeds. The media organizations had requested the preliminary injunction. This follows a temporary restraining order that the same judge put in place last month, which temporarily halted the administration's attempt to revoke the press credentials of these news outlets.
