Six citizens sue Trump over limits on White House media access

The lawsuit, filed Monday in a federal court in New York, is the first brought by people who read the news rather than the outlets that were banned.

The plaintiffs

• A human rights advocate
• A university history professor
• A high school teacher
• A legal journalist
• A student journalist

The plaintiffs include a human rights advocate, a history professor, a high school teacher and two journalists.

What they want

They ask the court to declare the policy unconstitutional and to bar the White House from enforcing it against any news outlet.
