The Trump administration is firing 2,000 USAID workers and putting thousands of others on leave

  • U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols stated that affected employees had not gone through an administrative process, limiting his jurisdiction over the case.
  • The administration plans to keep fewer than 300 staffers from the current 8,000 direct hires and contractors, escalating the reduction of USAID's workforce.
