The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has echoed this alarm, stating that these restrictions “[abandon] a decades old policy enabling foreign journalists to report from the United States without fear that their visa status could be weaponized against them.” In attempting to discipline foreign journalists, Washington risks making it far harder for US journalists to work abroad. These restrictions risk clashing with US obligations under the UN Headquarters Agreement and related arrangements governing access for foreign journalists covering the UN. They should petition Congress to block implementation, and prepare litigation arguing that the rule is arbitrary, discriminatory, and incompatible with the constitutional protection of a free press. Foreign governments and international bodies, including the UN, should make it clear that undermining foreign press access in the United States will invite restrictive countermeasures on American journalists abroad—further isolating US audiences from the world.
