 Judge to block Trump administration plan to put 2,200 USAID workers on leave

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, said he would formalize his decision later this evening.

A federal judge will order an immediate halt to key aspects of President Donald Trump’s effort to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development, blocking Secretary of State Marco Rubio from placing 2,200 employees of the agency on leave in a matter of hours.

“They should not put those 2,200 people on administrative leave,” U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, told Trump administration attorneys at an emergency hearing Friday. The judge indicated he would formalize his decision later in the evening.

It’s an immediate brushback to the demolition of USAID, the government agency responsible for billions of dollars in international aid programs. Elon Musk spearheaded the bid to dismantle the agency at breakneck speed in recent days, and earlier Friday, Trump called for the agency to be closed down.

Nichols said he is still weighing whether to order the government to recall 500 workers already placed on leave in recent days while a lawsuit brought by USAID employees and their union proceeds.

Well, with the building now supposed to be housing Border Patrol, where are the USAID workers going to go??

It's soon, if not already going to be a cluster.  They're blocking Rubio -- so what will his next move be??

Filling the former USAID offices with Border Control was genius.  There's nothing for the USAID personnel to return to.

This is why all the interference from judges will ultimately fail. At some point there will be a judge that says the Chief Executive runs the executive branch.

I'm glad these big issues are being fought out in the open. Lets get this resolved.

Yes they are.

If they can't be fired send them to help on the border.
