A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) likely violated constitutional provisions. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang specifically halted further cuts proposed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and mandated the restoration of computer and email access to all USAID employees, many of whom had been placed on administrative leave. This legal decision stemmed from a lawsuit by USAID employees seeking reinstatement after being notified of job terminations as part of a broader initiative to cut foreign spending.
A federal judge ruled against the dismantling of USAID and blocked cuts from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, citing unconstitutional actions.
