Federal Judge Suspends Trump Administration Job Cuts at Voice of America

Credited from: REUTERS

  • A federal judge has temporarily halted job cuts affecting over 500 employees at Voice of America.
  • The judge cited "concerning disrespect" shown by the Trump administration toward court orders.
  • The layoffs would severely impact the agency's ability to serve as a reliable news source.
  • Congress has approved substantial funding for the agency, including specific allocations for VOA.
  • The judge's decision addresses concerns about the statutory mission of the U.S. Agency for Global Media.

A federal judge, Royce Lamberth, has ordered the suspension of the Trump administration's plan to eliminate 532 full-time jobs at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the parent agency of Voice of America (VOA). This decision preserves the current staffing levels pending a determination of whether the agency is complying with previous court orders regarding its operational mandates, specifically those that require VOA to act as a "consistently reliable and authoritative source of news," according to CBS News, Reuters, and TRT Global.
