💨 Abstract

A U.S. judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from placing 2,200 employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) on leave as part of efforts to dismantle the agency. The judge's decision came following a lawsuit from government workers' unions who argued the administration's actions violated the separation of powers. The judge did not seem inclined to reopen USAID buildings or restore funding for grants and contracts.
