U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden ruled on April 8 that President Donald Trump's administration cannot exclude The Associated Press news wire service (AP) from limited-access presidential events, solely based on its refusal to use the name "Gulf of America" instead of Gulf of Mexico.

The AP had sued the Trump administration and some of its press staff after it lost its place in the exclusive, 13-member press pool, which has access to the president in places like the Oval Office, or while traveling on Air Force One.

McFadden ruled that the government infringed upon the AP's First Amendment rights by denying it access to events on Feb. 11, after it refused to update its style guide to reflect Trump's order that changed the name of the body of water bordering the southern United States.

On Feb. 25, the White House announced that its press team would decide who was eligible for press pool access, taking that privilege away from the White House Press Correspondents' Association.
