Summary
A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s plan to place 2,200 USAID employees on administrative leave as part of efforts to shut down the agency.
The American Foreign Service Association and the American Federation of Government Employees argued the move was unconstitutional and harmful to global humanitarian efforts.
Judge Carl Nichols issued a limited restraining order but has not yet ruled on 500 workers already on leave.
DOJ defended the decision, citing alleged corruption and fraud at USAID.
If Trump is accusing them of fraud I feel like they’re the least corrupt department of the government.
The federal judges are keeping my hope alive lately
DOJ, there is corruption in the government, but it ain’t coming from USAID. You might want to look upward in your org chart if you’re worried about corruption.
More like “Invert selection” for all of the things they’re currently targeting.
if there was in usaid, it’d be a select few contractors milkin’ the system for what they can. probably the ones that have republican congress-critters in their pockets.
