Thousands of the US Agency are granted to international development workers who have been separated or placed on vacation as part of the dismantling of the Trump administration of the agency, a brief window on Thursday and Friday to clarify their work spaces.
The United States Agency for International Development has put 4,080 employees working all over the world on Monday vacation. A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a response to the questions via e -mail.
The US International Development Agency has been one of the biggest goals so far in a wide campaign by President Donald Trump and the Ministry of Government efficiency, the Trump Advisor project, Elon Musk, to reduce the size of the federal government. The procedures at the US International Development Agency leave only a small part of its employees in the job.
Trump moved and caught quickly to close the external aid agency, describing its programs outside the Republican agenda line and asserting without evidence that its work was illuminated. In addition to its scope, their effort is unusual because it did not participate in Congress, which authorized the agency and provided its funding.
A report issued by Congress Research Service earlier this month said that Congress license is required to “cancel, move or strengthen the US Agency for International Development”, but the Republican majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate did not retract the administration’s actions. Nothing remains almost funding, anyway: The administration now says it is to eliminate more than 90 % of the US State Development Foreign Agency and $ 60 billion in the United States worldwide.

It is not clear how many more than 5,600 employees of the United States Agency for International Development who were separated or placed on vacation in the agency’s headquarters in Washington. A notice on the agency’s website said that employees in other sites will have an opportunity to collect their personal property at a later time.
Paying the notification instructions when specific groups of employees should reach to be examined by security and accompanying them to their previous spaces. Those who leave them should go to all assets issued by the United States Agency for International Development. The workers were informed of an administrative leave of maintaining their materials issued by the United States Agency for International Development, including diplomatic passports, “until they are separated from the agency.”
Several workers of the United States Agency for International Development saw the conditions of management to recover their property as insulting. In the notification, the employees were directed not to bring weapons, including firearms, “spears” and “grenades”. Each worker is granted only 15 minutes at their previous workstation.
The administration’s efforts to reduce the federal government are involved in various lawsuits, but the court’s challenges to temporarily stop the US Agency for International Development have not succeeded.
However, a federal judge on Tuesday gave the Trump administration a final date for this week to launch billions of dollars in US foreign aid, saying that it had not given any sign of compliance with his order in court for nearly two weeks to reduce the freezing of financing. Late on Wednesday, the Supreme Court temporarily prevented this matter, as judges chief John Roberts said that he would remain suspended until the Supreme Court has an opportunity for weight completely.
This judicial procedure resulted in a lawsuit filed by non -profit organizations over cutting out foreign assistance through the United States Agency for International Development and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Trump froze the money through an executive order on his first day in his position that targeted what he portrayed as illuminated programs that do not correspond to the goals of his foreign policy.
The Democratic Representative of Virginia Gerald Connely said in a statement that the attack on the United States Agency for International Development is “unjustified and unprecedented.” The large federal workforce, Konoli, has the relief agency workers as a part of the “World Development and Foreign Assistant Agency” that saves “millions of lives every year.”
