Meanwhile, President Trump has ordered federal immigration agents to deploy to major airports across the country.

More than a thousand journalists are supposed to return to work by today at the federal agency Voice of America.

It broadcasts to the world in several languages.

It features outlets such as Radio Free Europe.

Last week, a federal judge ordered that full-time VOA journalists be returned to work.

He ruled that President Trump's choice to head VOA, Carrie Lake,

had illegally taken the powers of the CEO of the network's parent agency.

The judge also ruled that Lake acted unlawfully by ignoring a decision by Congress to annually fund The Voice of America.
