VoA Resumes Broadcasting After Court Blocks Shutdown | JQJO

A federal appeals court temporarily blocked an executive order that shut down Voice of America (VoA), allowing it to resume broadcasting next week. The order, signed by President Trump, dismantled several agencies including the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees VoA. While VoA's operations will restart, a funding freeze for other USAGM-funded broadcasters, like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, remains in place. The court ruling partially upheld a lower court's decision that the executive order exceeded presidential authority. VoA staff are expected to return to work next week.
