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

ai generated text

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.

Carl Nichols
1. They should not put those 2,200 people on administrative leave.
2. Administrative leave in Syria is not the same as administrative leave in Bethesda.
3. All USAID employees currently on administrative leave shall be reinstated until that date, and shall be given complete access to email, payment, and security notification systems until that date, and no additional employees shall be placed on administrative leave before that date.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Social security will not be touched, it'll only be strengthened.
2. I've instructed him go into education, go into military, go into other things as we go along, and they're finding massive amounts of fraud, abuse, waste, all of these things.
3. THE CORRUPTION IS AT LEVELS RARELY SEEN BEFORE. CLOSE IT DOWN!
4. At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN.
5. USAID is driving the radical left crazy, and there is nothing they can do about it because the way in which the money has been spent, so much of it fraudulently, is totally unexplainable.
6. We haven't discussed that much. I'll tell him to go here, go there. He does it. He's got a very capable group of people, very, very, very, very capable. They know what they're doing. They'll ask questions, and they'll see immediately, as somebody gets tongue-tied, that they're either crooked or don't know what they're doing.
7. The way in which the money has been spent, so much of it fraudulently, is totally inexplainable.
Samantha Power
US Agency for International Development
1. We are witnessing one of the worst and most costly foreign policy blunders in US history.
Brett Shumate
US Department of Justice
1. The president has decided there is corruption and fraud at USAID.
