Getty Images Special Correspondent John Moore called out the Biden administration after he was “removed by local law enforcement” from the border allegedly “under orders from US Customs and Border Patrol”:
I respectfully ask the White House to stop the media border ban. I took these photos of migrants walking up from the border. I was later removed by local law enforcement, saying they were under orders from US Customs and Border Protection. #gettyimages #mediaborderban pic.twitter.com/5Kbax8VU3w

And he noted that “most border areas near the Rio Grande are completely off limits to media”:
The White House yesterday allowed one video camera into a sanitized detention facility, but no stills photographer, so no photographs. Meanwhile most border areas near the Rio Grande are completely off limits to media. #mediaborderban

Wow. Imagine the outcry if some other president had tried to stifle the press like this!
