A federal judge has temporarily paused the Trump administration's attempts to close the U.S. Agency for International Development (U.S.A.I.D.), including plans for 2,200 employees to take administrative leave and the withdrawal of most overseas staff. This decision was made following a lawsuit from federal employee unions, which argued that the actions would cause irreparable harm to affected employees. The judge has scheduled a hearing to further review the legality of these measures, amidst growing concerns about the broader implications of such government cuts under the Trump presidency.
Judge Carl Nichols issued a restraining order pausing the imminent administrative leave of 2,200 U.S.A.I.D. employees, indicating the legal battle over Trump’s actions continues.
Judge Nichols emphasized that the unions demonstrated that the employees affected by the leave and withdrawal orders would experience irreparable harm if the administration proceeded.
