A federal judge issued a ruling that prevents the Trump administration from shutting down Voice of America and other federally funded news organizations like Radio Free Asia. This decision mandates the reinstatement of journalists who were placed on leave following Trump's executive order aimed at dismantling their parent agency, the U.S. Agency for Global Media. The ruling stresses the importance of protecting press freedom and identifies potential violations of federal law regarding the administration's actions against these outlets.
The judge, Royce C. Lamberth, ordered the Trump administration to resume operations of Voice of America, emphasizing protection of press freedoms and legality.
Voice of America, founded in 1942, had its operations halted by a Trump executive order, which was declared likely in violation of federal laws.
