5:30 p.m. EST, Feb. 7 Judge Carl Nichols prevented Trump from placing 2,200 USAID staff on leave while a lawsuit from labor unions works its way through the courts—in what the Trump-appointed judge reportedly called a “limited” move.

The judge temporarily barred USAID from putting 2,200 workers on paid leave after employee groups filed a lawsuit challenging the administration’s authority to shut down the agency.

CNN’s Alex Marquardt reports on a temporary order issued by a federal judge blocking the Trump administration’s efforts to put almost all its USAID staffers on leave.
