Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Lamberth's preliminary injunction preventing the government from dismantling the Voice of America.


The Application

History

The district court found the government likely violated applicable law governing VOA and that dismantling the agency posed irreparable harm to the public interest, weighing this against the government's claimed authority to reorganize the executive branch. Judge Lamberth concluded the preliminary injunction standards were satisfied.

The Conclusion

The district court issued a preliminary injunction on April 24, 2025. The government appealed to the D.C. Circuit, which is now reviewing whether the lower court properly applied the preliminary injunction standard.
