Trump-Appointed Judge Temporarily Blocks Efforts to Dismantle USAID

[placeholder]

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols' ruling late Friday came after the American Foreign Service Association and American Federation of Government Employees sued the Trump administration over USAID on Thursday. It named Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the State Department, USAID and the U.S. Treasury Department as defendants.

The suit was filed shortly after the Trump administration proposed a plan to drastically cut USAID staff across the globe.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit described Trump and his administration's actions as "unconstitutional and illegal," arguing the president doesn't have the power to unilaterally shut down USAID.

USAID was created with an EO by JFK. Can Trump dismantle USAID with an EO?
