White House blocks CNN, Politico, and MS NOW reporters despite court order

Reporters from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW were denied entry to the White House on Thursday, hours after a judge ruled their ban was likely unconstitutional and ordered their access restored. The judge issued a restraining order suspending President Donald Trump's ban on the three outlets, stating he had not followed proper procedure. Despite this, a Politico reporter's press credentials were confiscated by security, who offered only a temporary day pass. The White House had originally barred the outlets last week. The day pass option is typically reserved for journalists without permanent access to White House press facilities, leaving the situation unresolved.
