A federal judge on March 21 ordered Kari Lake to reverse her efforts to dismantle the federally funded international broadcast network Voice of America (VOA) and reinstate its operations staff. This development came after Lake's U.S. Agency for Global Media, earlier on March 21, asked a federal appeals court in Washington D.C. to delay the judge's order for hundreds of VOA journalists to return to work on a tight deadline. These actions follow a decision earlier in the week, specifically on March 16, when U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth ordered the Trump administration to restore VOA's operations. The judge declared the administration's year-long efforts to shut down the congressionally funded international broadcaster unlawful, mandating the return of more than 1,000 employees. President Donald Trump appointed Lake as VOA director shortly after his 2024 election, an appointment Judge Lamberth had previously questioned.
