Appeals court suspends order for Voice of America employees to return to work
The stay leaves more than 1,000 Voice of America workers on leave as the court weighs the Trump administration’s appeal.
- On Tuesday, a D.C. Circuit Court panel stayed the March 17 order requiring the Trump administration to restore Voice of America operations, pending the government's appeal.
- President Donald Trump's executive order effectively shut down the agency, leaving it operating with a skeleton staff while the legal battle proceeds through the appeals process.
- Circuit Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson, Robert Wilkins, and Gregory Katsas comprise the panel, nominated by Republican President George H.W. Bush, Democratic President Barack Obama, and Trump respectively.
- More than 1,000 Voice of America employees remain on administrative leave while the appeals court process unfolds, a procedure that could take months and delay the agency's full restoration.
- Before Trump's executive order, Voice broadcast in 49 languages to 362 million people since World War II, reflecting its extensive global reach. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled Kari Lake lacked legal authority for her agency actions.
