Two thing can be true.
The WH kicking out media it doesn’t like is absolutely a First Amendment violation.
And
There is little journalism of value to be found in the highly controlled, substance-free halls of power—wall-to-wall navel-gazing about one’s access probably being of the least value.

Alert ⚠️ An ICE officer shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in North Austin today after a traffic stop. He was shot in the torso and hospitalized in serious but stable condition. His attorney says Perez, a Venezuelan national, entered the U.S. legally and had a valid work permit.

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits unreasonable search, seizure and arrest.
It requires probable cause of a crime before a warrant is issued.
To suggest otherwise runs contrary to more than 200 years of jurisprudence.
