Unions sue Trump administration over USAID shutdown
- Federal workers associations filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to prevent the shutdown of the United States Agency for International Development in a federal high court in Washington.
- The lawsuit argues that USAID is a creation of Congress, which the executive branch cannot dismantle.
- On February 5, USAID announced the placement of all directly hired staff on administrative leave after a security breach at its headquarters.
- The Trump administration's plan would reduce USAID's staff from 10,000 to 300 and move its operations to the State Department, prompting concerns from Democrats about the constitutionality of these actions.
