A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore operations at Voice of America, ruling that the decision to effectively shut down the government-funded broadcaster and sideline most of its staff was "arbitrary and capricious."
U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth directed the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees Voice of America, to submit a plan within a week to resume broadcasting and return employees to work.
