Judge Blocks Trump Plan to Place Thousands of USAID Staff on Leave

US Agency for International Development (USAID) employees are facing uncertainty as a result of a recent court decision. A federal judge, Carl Nichols, has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration's plan to place 2,200 USAID employees on paid leave. This move would have required employees to relocate to the US within 30 days, a process that the judge deemed to be exposing employees, their spouses, and children to unnecessary risk and expense.
