CNN reporter Jim Acosta returned to the White House Friday to get his press credentials back.
This comes after US District Court Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to immediately return Acosta's credentials while CNN's lawsuit continues.
He found that Acosta was "irreparably harmed" and dismissed the government's argument that CNN could send another reporter in Acosta's place to cover the White House.
In brief remarks after the ruling, Acosta said, "Let's go back to work!"
The White House then announced it would 'temporarily reinstate' the press credentials for Acosta.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders also called for "decorum" at the White House and said they would be developing "rules and processes to ensure fair and orderly press conferences in the future."
