Judge Carl Nichols

A federal judge, Judge Carl Nichols, appointed by President Trump, has extended a restraining order that temporarily blocks the Trump Administration from reducing the workforce at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Initially, President Trump had planned to drastically reduce the USAID workforce to only a couple of hundred workers, resulting in thousands of employees being placed on administrative leave.

However, Judge Nichols has extended the restraining order until February 21, providing a reprieve for USAID employees who were facing being forced onto administrative leave or called back from overseas posts.

According to a report by Politico, Judge Nichols expressed skepticism during a court hearing about the ongoing role of the court in overseeing actions towards USAID employees in the U.S. He indicated that there are alternative ways for the agency to address potential employment actions, suggesting that financial damage awards could be a more suitable approach rather than dictating specific agency actions.

While acknowledging the potential for harm to USAID employees in high-risk areas overseas or those with significant expenses covered by the agency, such as utilities, rent, or education expenses, Judge Nichols emphasized that the courts may intervene if there is imminent harm.

By extending the restraining order, Judge Nichols has disrupted the Trump administration’s rapid efforts to dismantle parts of the federal bureaucracy, particularly the USAID, which manages billions of dollars in foreign aid.
