Trump asema anapiga marufuku CNN, MS NOW na Politico kutoka Ikulu
Rais Trump alitangaza Septemba 18 kwenye Truth Social kuwa CNN, MS NOW na Politico wamepigwa marufuku kuingia Ikulu ya White House kwa athari ya papo hapo, akitaja kile alichokiita utangazaji usio wa haki. Watetezi wa uhuru wa vyombo vya habari wanasema hatua hiyo huenda ikakiuka Marekebisho ya Kwanza, na bado haijulikani wazi jinsi au kama marufuku hiyo itatekelezwa.

Rais Donald Trump alisema Septemba 18, 2026, kuwa anapiga marufuku CNN, MS NOW iliyokuwa ikijulikana kama MSNBC, na Politico kuingia Ikulu ya White House, akisema hatua hiyo ina athari ya papo hapo. Alitoa tangazo hilo kwenye chapisho katika jukwaa lake la Truth Social, akiyashutumu vyombo hivyo vitatu kwa kuendelea kuchapisha habari za uzushi na za upotoshaji kuhusu utawala wake.
Ikulu haikufafanua mara moja mbinu zitakazotumika kutekeleza marufuku hiyo au kama vitambulisho vya waandishi wa habari kutoka mashirika yaliyoathirika vingebatilishwa. Waandishi wa habari kutoka angalau shirika moja lililolengwa waliripoti kuzuiwa kuingia eneo la Ikulu na vitambulisho vyao vya habari kubatilishwa masaa machache baada ya tangazo hilo.
Mashirika ya uhuru wa vyombo vya habari na wataalamu wa katiba walisema hatua hiyo huenda ikawa jaribio haramu la kuadhibu mashirika ya habari kwa sababu ya utangazaji wao, wakionya kuwa inaweza kukiuka ulinzi uliohakikishwa chini ya Marekebisho ya Kwanza. CNN ilisema inanuia kuendelea kutangaza habari za utawala huo bila kuingiliwa na serikali, na wawakilishi wa vyombo vingine pia walipinga marufuku hiyo.
