USAID staffers turned away from offices even after court suspends leave order
LA TimesOfficials and federal officers turned away scores of U.S. Agency for International Development staffers who showed up for work Monday at its Washington headquarters, after a court temporarily blocked a Trump administration order that would have pulled all but a fraction of workers off the job worldwide. A man who earlier identified himself as a USAID official took a harsher tone, telling arriving staffers “just go” and “why are you here?” Workers embraced who had not seen each other since President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, who runs a cost-cutting task force, the Department of Government Efficiency, began dismantling USAID and its aid and development programs worldwide three weeks ago. A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked a Trump administration order that would have put thousands of USAID staffers on administrative leave that same day and given those abroad 30 days to get back to the United States at the government’s expense. While the judge ordered the administration to restore agency email access for staffers, the order said nothing about reopening USAID headquarters.
