20 House Republicans Demand Biden Allow Media at Southern Border: ‘This Is an Insult to Free Press’

Wendell Husebo 25 Mar 2021

Twenty House Republicans called on President Joe Biden to allow press access at the southern border, calling it an “insult to the purposes of a free press.”

In an emailed press release, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said the obstruction of “journalists from witnessing and documenting the crisis up close… is an insult to the purposes of a free press – as defended in our Constitution – which are to inform the public and hold those in power accountable.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday the administration was open to “providing greater access to the media” via “a video camera” of one of the detention facilities. She also noted it was a “health concern” to have “increased access.”
