“The government argued in the Tru session that the status of employees on the paid administrative leave is to conduct employees in the park that does not deserve the court intervention. But the administrative leave in Syria is not the same administrative leave in Betsda: the payment cannot be charged simply this fact,” the judge added.

The judge’s order is partially granted a temporary restriction that he requested two groups of workers who represent federal workers in a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Thursday. In their initial request, the work groups asked the judge to prevent the Trump administration from putting any workers at the US Additional International Development Agency on leave or from launching any additional workers.

They have cost thousands of American jobs. They have been subjected to American national security services.”

The lawsuit, which was filed on Thursday, appointed President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Treasury and the American Agency for International Development as defendants.

The lawsuit said: “No one of the defendants’ actions have been taken to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development in accordance with the license of Congress. According to the federal statute, Congress is the only entity that may legalize the agency legally. “

The Humanitarian Agency has been fire since Trump took office. Elon Musk said in X post On Monday, “he spent the weekend to feed the United States Agency for International Development in wood.”

On Tuesday, the US Agency for International Development said that almost all employees will be placed on an administrative leave starting on February 7 in midnight. This announcement came just one day after the agency closed the headquarters on Monday and asked the employees to work remotely.

“With regard to the American Agency for International Development, and it agreed that we must stop it,” Musk said of a conversation with President Donald Trump during the X Square conversation.

Founded in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, the US International Development Agency supervises the United States aids worldwide.
