Reporter Akayla Gardner reports near the White House after being denied entry following President Donald Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, Sept. 19, 2026.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to temporarily restore journalists’ access to the White House on Sept. 24, 2026. As he had in a similar case in 2018, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly decided the revocation of the reporters’ press passes likely violated their Fifth Amendment right to due process.

His decision comes just days after President Donald Trump revoked credentials from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, citing “their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!”
