This step is escalating to pay for a month to dismantle the agency, which included closing its headquarters in Washington and closing thousands of first aid and development programs around the world after freezing on all external assistance. The judge later banned the financing freezing. Trump and Musk claim that the American Agency for International Development is luminous and enhances a liberal agenda.

A different judge said in a second lawsuit linked to the US Agency for International Development last week that the administration continued to block external aid, although his matter prevents temporarily freezing financing and must restore funding to programs around the world.
On Friday, the separate ruling from Nichols surveyed the road to the administration to start the hour at a 30 -day deadline for the United States Agency for International Development and their families to return to their homes if they wanted to travel by the government.
