UPDATE:
Musk has been ordered to reinstate access to email, payment and other electronic systems for all current USAID employees and personal services contractors, while the Trump administration is now prevented from taking any further actions related to the shutdown of USAID - including placing employees on administrative leave, firing USAID workers, closing buildings, bureaus or offices, and deleting the contents of its websites or collections.
Of note - the order does not currently require the reinstatement of fired employees, after roughly 83% of USAID programs have been officially canceled according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
"After a six-week review, 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, and even harmed the core national interests of the United States," he said.
A judge just ordered Elon Musk's DOGE to all but fully reinstate USAID after they dismantled it. The judge ruled that only Congress, which authorized USAID, has the power to close it and gets to decide on the methodology to close the agency.
Judge Theodore Chuang, appointed by Obama, issued the ruling, calling the Trump administration's actions unconstitutional.
The lawsuit was brought by former USAID workers.
