The federal judge grants going to Trump to the workforce of the United States Agency for International Development
On Friday, the Federal Judge paved the way for the Trump administration to move forward in plans to remove thousands of the US Agency for International Development Workers from their jobs.
American boycott judge Karl Nichols denied a request from work groups to issue a preliminary judicial order after the Trump administration said that thousands of US Agency for International Development will be placed on administrative leave and ordered the agency’s employees to return to the United States within 30 days.
“Evaluating the assurances of the plaintiffs on these questions against the government is similar to comparing apples with orange. One of the two sides claims that the American Agency for International Development is necessary for human prosperity and other claims that currently contradict it, it is simply not possible and the Nichols wrote” the court “until it is concluded, as a legal issue or Royal rights, that the public interest prefers or distorts a judicial order. “

Earlier this month, the judge stopped the administration’s transfer to the status of 2,200 employees at the United States Agency for International Development on an administrative vacation. He also canceled the leave of 500 workers, and stopped efforts to stop the evacuation of workers abroad. The temporary restriction order extended to these procedures until the judge’s ruling on Friday.
The lawsuit was initially submitted by the American Foreign Service Association, a union representing 1980 as an external service officer working at the United States Agency for International Development and the American Union of Government Persons. They argued that the efforts made to dissolve the United Nations International Development Agency were “catastrophic human consequences” by ending the agency’s efforts to stop the death of malaria for children, ending the pharmaceutical clinical experiences and threatening the HIV.
They also claimed that the transition to the intestine was the agency “had already been subjected to American life”, and they referred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last month to advise American citizens to leave the Democratic Republic of the Congo due to safety concerns associated with protests in American government buildings.
“By suddenly placing the employees on an administrative leave, the defendants left the American Agency for International Development in risky situations, without any information or financing to escape,” the lawsuit said.
Tom Yazgdardi, President of the American Foreign Service Association, described the judge as “a setback in our battle to protect our members from efforts that threaten the dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development, but it does not change the importance of their mission – help to save life all over the world.”
“It will continue to follow up on all legal options in this case to ensure the safety of Americans at home and abroad.”
“The Trump administration’s attack on the US Agency for International Development is part of a coordinated effort to undermine the will of Congress and isolate America on the world stage,” Periman said in a statement.
