The Trump administration has initiated drastic measures against the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), resulting in the firing or placing on leave of over 5,600 employees. This campaign, driven by President Trump and advisor Elon Musk, aims to significantly downsize federal operations without Congressional approval. Reports indicate greater than 90% of USAID's foreign aid contracts are being eliminated, leading to a substantial contraction of services and personnel. Despite the absence of Congressional pushback, concerns arise regarding the legality of abolishing a federally authorized agency without legislative consent.
Thousands of USAID employees have been let go or placed on leave due to a reduction in force, as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration.
The administration's swift move against USAID has occurred without Congressional approval, raising concerns over the legality of these actions.
