A federal Judge in New York has halted the White House and US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) advisor Kari Lake’s efforts to deliver government efficiency to the leftwing agency that oversees the government’s international broadcaster, Voice of America.
Obama appointee James Paul Oetken was the first openly gay man to be confirmed as a federal judge in 2011. Earlier this week, he dismissed racketeering allegations in a $30 million sexual assault lawsuit against rapper P. Diddy involving allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking.
On Friday, he granted a temporary restraining order, enjoining them from implementing the President’s March 14 executive order, titled “Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy.”
This comes after a lawsuit by from six leftist VOA reporters backed by Reporters Without Borders and several labor unions, who alleged First Amendment violations over attempts to dismantle the broadcasting agency by firing current staff members.
According to the New York Times, “A separate lawsuit, brought by the director of Voice of America, Michael Abramowitz, is also pending.”
Read the full order below:
Does it make any sense that a single district court judge, one out of 677 across the nation, can dictate the President’s policy or the executive branch’s HR department based on his own radical views?
Will the judge go through the job applications and interview the candidates? Will he also do the firing and disciplinary actions?
Kari Lake responded to the order, telling The Gateway Pundit, “As we try to effectuate President Trump’s executive order involving our agency, the US Agency for Global Media, Judges in the DC District Court and the District Court of NY are saying they get to run the Executive Branch.”
“This is the true ‘threat to Democracy’ we have been hearing so much about,” she added.
President Trump, in response to a different case on Thursday, slammed the “broken” and “rigged” court system, calling Washington, DC, and New York, where the VOA case was filed, “the most preeminent of all in their Corruption and Radicalism.”

Lake told The Gateway Pundit she agrees with the President. “DC and NY are the worst,” Lake said. “These judges were not elected by We the People. President Trump was.”
On Friday, Lake sent out a mass email to USAGM employees offering a “fork in the road” deferred resignation buyout. This came after she issued reduction-in-force notifications to government worker unions, putting them on notice that mass firings were pending.
The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on Kari Lake's reform of USAGM and Voice of America.
