A judge ruled the Pentagon's press access policy unconstitutional, blocking government censorship of military reporting.
A federal judge has ruled that a Pentagon policy restricting press access to military operations is unconstitutional, blocking its enforcement.
The policy, introduced in 2025 under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, required journalists to obtain prior approval to report on military matters—even unclassified information—leading major news outlets like The New York Times to surrender their credentials.
Judge Paul L. Friedman found the policy violated the First Amendment by enabling government censorship and undermining press freedom.
He emphasized that a free press is essential for national security and democratic accountability.
The Pentagon plans to appeal the decision.
