US judge to temporarily block Trump from taking some steps to dismantle USAID

A US judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s plan to dismantle the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The judge’s order prevents the administration from taking steps to dismantle the agency, including placing 2,200 employees on administrative leave.

The decision was made in response to a lawsuit filed by the largest US government workers’ union and an association of foreign service workers. The lawsuit claims that the administration’s plan to dismantle USAID exceeds the executive’s authority and violates the separation of powers.

The Trump administration had planned to keep only 611 essential workers on board at USAID, out of a worldwide workforce of over 10,000. The administration claims that there is corruption and fraud at USAID, but the judge’s order will prevent the immediate relocation of certain humanitarian workers stationed outside the United States.
