Judge pauses Trump plan to put USAID workers on leave for another week

A D.C. Federal judge has extended a restraining order preventing the Trump administration from shutting down the foreign aid agency USAID for another week, as reported by U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols.
Nichols instructed the government to reinstate any USAID employees placed on administrative leave and prohibited further leaves based on Trump's actions.
Karla Gilbride stated that USAID employees faced unprecedented harm from a coordinated and unconstitutional effort to dismantle the agency, citing safety concerns and well-being issues.
Eric Hamilton from the Justice Department argued that grievances should be addressed through the Merit Systems Protection Board, rather than federal court.
