'We urge the Court to uphold the First Amendment and declare these new requirements unconstitutional so Simon can continue to do his job...'

(Dmytro "Henry" Aleksandrov, Headline USA) White House correspondent for Today News Africa Simon Ateba filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on Thursday to fight for the freedom of the press after the administration stripped the hard-pass press credentials from him and hundreds of other reporters.

The Center for American Liberty, the organization that filed the lawsuit, accused the White House of "effectively banning Ateba and more than 440 other reporters."
