Judge Orders Reinstatement of VOA and RFA Journalists

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., issued a preliminary injunction ordering the Trump administration to fully reinstate employees and resume broadcasts at USAGM outlets (VOA, RFA, MBN), ruling the abrupt shutdown unlawful; the order mandates staffing restoration, monthly compliance reports, and reinstatement of grant funding, while RFE/RL and OTF are excluded due to separate legal actions.
