Decision signed/ US federal court demands "dismantling" of USAID

A federal court today cleared the way for the Trump administration to pull thousands of employees from the U.S. Agency for International Development, also known as USAID.

The decision was signed this Friday by Judge Carl J. Nichols.

The US judge lifted his temporary block in an attempt to remove all but a small number of USAID employees from their posts and give those abroad a 30-day deadline to return to the US at government expense.

The Trump administration and the cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency, linked to billionaire Elon Musk, have moved swiftly to shut down USAID, claiming its work is wasteful and out of line with the president's agenda.

USAID "will take all appropriate measures to ensure the safety and security of current employees," Deputy Administrator Pete Marocco said in a court filing Thursday.

The administration says it is taking all necessary care of staff as it ends USAID programs and aims to bring thousands of workers and their families out of the country.

Another court order has temporarily blocked the funding freeze. The administration has accused USAID programs of being wasteful and promoting a liberal agenda./CNA
