This decision follows a temporary block of the administration's attempts to reduce the agency's workforce and recall employees from overseas. The court is set to rule next week on whether the pause will continue, while concerns grow regarding the safety of employees abroad and the implications for their benefits. The lawsuit is part of broader legal challenges against the administration's measures to diminish USAID.
