But Friedman wrote that the #Defense Dept ā€œcannot simply reinstate an unlawful policy under the guise of taking ā€˜new’ action & expect the Court to look the other way.ā€

ā€œNor can the Department take steps to circumvent the Court’s injunction & expect the Court to turn a blind eye. But that is exactly what the defendants have done by closing the Correspondents’ Corridor & imposing an escort requirement,ā€ he said.
