The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), crucial in global humanitarian efforts, faced potential layoffs affecting approximately 2,700 employees due to the Trump administration's moves. A court's temporary order prevented these layoffs, providing a brief relief for the agency's staff who have been key in combating crises like famine and disease outbreaks. However, the workers are still in limbo, as future employment prospects remain unclear, with the case expected to head to the Supreme Court to determine the agency's fate.
The order was a temporary reprieve to approximately 2,700 direct hires of the U.S. Agency for International Development who were on administrative leave or set to be placed on leave by midnight Friday.
On Saturday, U.S.A.I.D. informed employees affected by the order that employees already on administrative leave would be reinstated until February 14, but the future remains uncertain.
