  The judge issued a temporary restraining order barring from "any further attempt to terminate, reduce-in-force, place on leave, or furlough" employees or contractors

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's recent firings at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees Voice of America (VOA) and other government-funded international broadcasters. The decision came after a lawsuit was filed by a government-funded media watchdog, arguing that the dismissals were unlawful. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell issued a preliminary injunction preventing the administration from removing or replacing the officials until the lawsuit is resolved.
