The MAGA devotee overseeing the dismantling of Voice of America is eager to expel the international journalists she’s fired.

A fter rushing to shut down the government-funded media outlets she was tapped to lead, Kari Lake has launched on a mission so strange that it is perhaps unprecedented: She is trying to force her own employees out of the country.

“Her latest targets are J-1 visa holders…Obscure to most Americans, they have attracted Lake’s attention in part because they embody a trifecta of triggers for Trump’s ire-they are federal employees, they are immigrants, and they are journalists.” —JB

Kari Lake has sought to dismantle Voice of America and its federal parent, the U.S. Agency for Global Media. The agency has recently called her its acting CEO. But the law suggests she's not eligible for the job.

President Donald Trump's top bureaucrat in charge of the U.S. state-run international broadcasting service known as Voice of America has a new goal, The Atlantic reported on Tuesday — deport employees who formerly worked for that agency.
