Judge To Block Trump Administration Plan To Put 2,000 USAID Workers On Leave.

[0311]

A federal judge will order an immediate halt to key aspects of President Donald Trump’s effort to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development, blocking Secretary of State Marco Rubio from placing 2,200 employees of the agency on leave in a matter of hours.

“They should not put those 2,200 people on administrative leave,” U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, told Trump administration attorneys at an emergency hearing Friday. The judge indicated he would formalize his decision later in the evening.

It’s an immediate brushback to the demolition of USAID, the government agency responsible for billions of dollars in international aid programs. Elon Musk spearheaded the bid to dismantle the agency at breakneck speed in recent days, and earlier Friday, Trump called for the agency to be closed down.

? That won't change the outcome to this. When they defund money to get it down to the bones
or, have another agency absorb its duties, the outcome will be the same. They have over 10,000
employees....that's a lot of fat.

Doesn't matter.

All this stuff will hit SCOTUS eventually.

Likely absolutely is but there are legal ways to do all of this and Trump's way. As much as MAGA wants Trump's way the courts are going to step in.

Why Trump won't simply go about it in a legal way is mystifying. He rants, he gets shot down and forgets it to rant about the next bright object.

Is the Judge going to pay for them?

Can Trump now sign an EO Ordering the Judge to hire them all?

Throw everything against the wall and see what sticks, those that don't go to the courts.

These guys are pretty gullible..... The judge can say anything he wants he can't pay those employees out of his own bank account. Lol.

It's all going to the courts. Why not simply do it so it doesn't go to the courts.

It's like I've pointed out before. Trump waved his arms and said the "Dreamers Act" was over. The Supreme Court noted that Trump could overturn it but there was a correct way to do it but for whatever reason Trump wasn't interested.

Nothing seems to have changed with him.

The Chaos is intentional.... The court systems are being co-opted and dragged into the fight on purpose.

Most of America stands with him. That speaks volumes.

A favorites saying.....lead, follow, or get out of the way.

How can a judge be involved in the spending priorities of the federal government? I feel.for these people of.course, but is this a employment law case? If it were, would employees argue that "we deserve lifetime employment"?

Calling Black Robes' Bluff

The American people have had enough of judicial obstruction. It's about time that Trump ignores court orders and sees what happens. Outrage by the Liberal Quislings should also be ignored.

The court systems quadruple the exposure to the issues spilling them out more loudly than if they were not being taken to court. It turns public opinion more than the event itself.
Trump is using the liberal justices to preach to the public on his behalf and they don't even know it.

Maybe you should go back and actually look. I was 100% against that because it was not paid for.

100% could agree with him but when the courts don't it's all moot.

They are called laws.

I already pointed out what happens when he ignores things. We still have the Dreamers.
