A federal judge has issued a restraining order against the U.S. Agency for International Development's plans to place thousands of employees on administrative leave and evacuate overseas staff. This order reinstates employees previously placed on leave. The American Foreign Service Association and the American Federation of Government Employees filed a lawsuit claiming that the administration’s actions violate constitutional principles and federal law. The judge halted these actions until February 14, allowing for further legal discussions on the administration's approach toward USAID's restructuring.
The ruling halts all of the Trump administration's workforce actions until February 14 at midnight, allowing a fuller discussion of the legal issues surrounding the case.
Karla Gilbride expressed that the planned leave notices would cause numerous harms to the agency's workforce, particularly impacting those stationed overseas.
