The Trump administration has cut 600 workers from Voice of America, a U.S. government-funded news outlet. Many of those fired were foreign journalists whose U.S. visas are expiring, potentially leading to their deportation to countries where reporting the news is dangerous. Critics argue the firings silence independent voices, while supporters claim VOA is outdated and needs downsizing. The Washington, D.C. headquarters is also up for rent.
