'Their time here is up': Kari Lake moves to deport her own ex-employees

By Matthew Chapman
Published August 12, 2025 11: ET

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.

Lake, a former news anchor from the Phoenix area and multiple-time failed candidate for higher office in Arizona, did everything in her power to shutter the agency she was put in charge of — and how, wrote Toluse Olurunnipa, "Her latest targets are J-1 visa holders who worked for Voice of America ... in part because they embody a trifecta of triggers for Trump’s ire — they are federal employees, they are immigrants, and they are journalists."

She has been making these threats in a series of interviews given to right-wing talk show hosts — one of the most recent being with Eric Bolling of Real America's Voice.
