21.09.2026 ⇢ The Day TV Networks Boycotted the White House Pool
⌨

Overnight attention stayed on the ICE shooting in Austin, where an officer wounded Venezuelan DoorDash driver Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, reported in serious but stable condition, prompting protests and dispute over the use of force, alongside reports of the death of Presley Gerber, 27, son of Cindy Crawford.

By midday editors shifted to the White House press fight. CNN, MS NOW and Politico filed suit to restore access after being barred, and five major TV networks including Fox suspended pool coverage in solidarity, skipping Trump's helipad unveiling and leaving his remarks without pool audio. The White House called access a privilege, with Vance defending denial of special access and Trump saying he targeted fake news.

Late coverage noted Trump's warm Gracie Mansion meeting with Mamdani on housing and immigration, and FAA ground stops across the Northeast after a telecom line was cut.
