HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- At the request of CNN, a federal judge in Texas Friday night blocked emergency officials in New Orleans from preventing the media from covering the recovery of bodies from Hurricane Katrina. Attorneys for the network argued that the ban was an unconstitutional prior restraint on news gathering. U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison issued a temporary restraining order against a "zero access" policy announced earlier Friday by Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who is overseeing the federal relief effort in the city, and Terry Ebbert, the city's homeland security director. A hearing was scheduled for Saturday morning to determine if the order should be made permanent. In explaining the ban, Ebbert said, "we don't think that's proper" to let media view the bodies.
