Judge orders Pentagon to lift policy that New York Times journalists be accompanied by an escort
A federal judge ordered the Pentagon to temporarily halt a policy requiring New York Times journalists to be accompanied by an official escort, citing a First Amendment violation. The Pentagon disputes the ruling, arguing it weakens security, while the Times praised the decision as constitutional. The legal battle continues as part of ongoing tensions between the media and the Trump administration.
