Judge blocks Trump from placing thousands of USAID workers on leave and giving them 30-day deadline

The Hindu  

A federal judge ordered a temporary block on Friday on Trump administration orders that would have placed thousands more workers of the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave, and would have given agency workers abroad just a 30-day deadline to return to the U.S. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, agreed with arguments by two government employee associations that both orders exposed U.S. aid and development workers abroad to unwarranted risk and hardship. Closing down of USAID The judge declined to grant a temporary block on a Trump administration funding freeze that has shut down the six-decade-old agency’s aid and development work around the world, ahead of a fuller court review and arguments on the employees’ case. Judge’s ruling setback for Trump Friday’s ruling is the latest setback in the courts for the Trump administration, whose policies to offer financial incentives for federal workers to resign and end birthright citizenship for anyone born in the U.S. to someone in the country illegally have been temporarily paused by judges. The judge’s order involved the Trump administration’s decision earlier this week to pull almost all USAID workers off the job and out of the field worldwide.
