A United States District Court has ruled that the Trump administration’s decision to effectively shut down Voice of America (VOA) was illegal. Judge Royce Lamberth issued the order on Tuesday, directing authorities to restart the international broadcaster within one week. The court also ordered the reinstatement of journalists who had been dismissed as part of the shutdown.
Voice of America was originally established during World War II to counter Nazi propaganda. After returning to the presidency, Donald Trump issued an executive order to close the broadcaster, accusing it of left-leaning bias. His administration also sought to dismantle other U.S.-funded media outlets such as Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia “as far as legally possible.”
The ruling marks a judicial pushback against the administration’s attempt to curtail government-funded international media operations, requiring the immediate restoration of VOA’s services and staff.
