US EditionAppeals court suspends order for Voice of America employees to return to work
More than 1,000 Voice of America employees will stay on leave while the Trump administration appeals a March 17 ruling, the court said.
- A panel of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a stay on Tuesday, suspending an order requiring President Donald Trump's administration to restore Voice of America operations.
- Trump's executive order previously shut down the government-run broadcaster, which has functioned with reduced staff since the directive was issued last year.
- District Judge Royce Lamberth had ordered on March 17 that Voice of America's operations be restored, ruling Kari Lake lacked legal authority for her agency actions.
- More than 1,000 Voice of America employees will remain on administrative leave while the Court weighs the government's appeal, a process that could take months.
- Before Trump, Voice of America operated in 49 languages reaching 362 million people; the panel comprises judges nominated by Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican leaders.
