Reporters from all three outlets, however, said they remained blocked a few hours after the ruling. The back-and-forth is the latest in an extraordinary showdown between Trump and media outlets whose coverage he dislikes.

Trump first announced he was banning the outlets Friday, assailing what he called "fake news," and only later arguing that their reporting was a risk to national security. The outlets argued in a joint lawsuit that the ban was a blatant violation of the First Amendment because it singled them out for the content of their coverage. In his late-night ruling, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" the three outlets' access.
