The Trump administration said on Sunday that it is spending 2000 jobs at the United States Agency for International Development and putting all other employees around the world all over the world.
This comes after a federal judge allowed the administration to move forward with the withdrawal of thousands of employees of the United States for International Development from Work in the United States and around the world. American boycott judge Karl Nichols refused appeals to maintain his temporary residency on the government’s plan in a lawsuit from employees.
“As of 11:59 pm EST on Sunday, February 23, 2025, all direct rental members of the US Agency for International Development will be placed, with the exception of the appointed employees responsible for important jobs and basic leadership and/or special programs in particular, on an administrative leave Globally, “according to the notifications that were sent to the US Agency for International Development Agency seen by Associated Press.
At the same time, the agency said it is cutting the US -based workforce by about 2000 employees.
This step rises from a month -old administrative attack on the agency, which closed its headquarters in Washington and closed thousands of American aid and development programs around the world after an attempt to freeze external assistance. President Donald Trump and his main cost president, Elon Musk, claim that aid and development work is illuminated and enhances a liberal agenda.

As for the news that affects Canada and around the world, he participated in the urgent news alerts that were delivered directly when it occurs.
Quoting a source of great concern for workers stationed abroad and who have been cut off from government contacts, the notifications say that “the American Agency for International Development is committed to maintaining its employees abroad. Until they return to their homes, employees will retain access to the agency’s systems, diplomatic resources and others.”
The administration said that the employees who were placed on leave abroad are expected to obtain a “voluntary return travel travel” and other advantages.
Nichols, who was nominated by Trump, said he was “very concerned” about workers in high -risk areas that left abroad without reaching emergency contacts. But he said he had reassured him since then from the administration that the workers will remain able to access radio devices in two directions that allow 24-7 emergency contacts, in addition to applying a phone with the “panic button”.
The judge said that the government’s statements convinced him that “the risks posed by the United States Agency for International Development who are placed on an administrative leave during their focus abroad – if there is anything much more than that than it appeared in the beginning.”
Fire notifications and papers on hundreds of US Agency for International Development are receiving messages that have no end to the end of the weekend, according to the copies that AP saw.
The workers pointed out that the comprehensive nature of the notification messages to the USA’s contractors for International Development, with the exception of the names or attitudes of those who receive them, may make it difficult for deported workers to obtain unemployment benefits.
A different judge in a second case linked to the dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development to temporarily prevent freezing for external assistance and said last week that the administration had blocked assistance despite his order from the court and at least funding must be restored to programs around the world.
