US judge halts mass layoff of Voice of America employees in temporary ruling ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

The ruling on Monday suspended termination notices that were scheduled to take effect on September 30, marking the latest development in an ongoing legal battle over government-funded media.

“The Reduction in Force announced by Defendant Lake on or about August 29, 2025, is SUSPENDED and may NOT be implemented until this Court has ruled on the plaintiffs’ Motion,“ Lamberth wrote in his 19-page order.

Monday’s ruling was intended to facilitate that injunction and restore VOA’s programming so the US Agency for Global Media can fulfill its statutory mandate.

Lake described the layoffs as a “long-overcome effort to dismantle a bloated, unaccountable bureaucracy.”

“The Court no longer harbors any doubt that defendants lack a plan to comply with the preliminary injunction, and instead have been running out the clock on the fiscal year while remaining in violation of statutory obligations,“ Lamberth wrote.

President Trump has frequently attacked media outlets and criticized VOA’s editorial firewall, which prevents government intervention in coverage and which he considers too critical of his administration. – AFP
