Edward R. Murrow Transmitting Station in North Carolina
A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking efforts by the Trump administration to shut down Voice of America (VOA) and other U.S.-funded international broadcasters. The judge determined that the administration’s actions may have exceeded its authority, as the broadcasters were established by Congress.
The court decision follows recent moves to suspend operations and funding for networks like VOA, Radio Marti, and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
Some services have since resumed limited operations while legal challenges continue.
