A federal judge on Friday cleared the way for the Trump administration to pull thousands of U.S. Agency for International Development staffers off the job in the United States and around the world. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency have moved swiftly to shutter USAID, AP is reporting.
Days later a Californian judge stopped the ongoing process of the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM). «The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees at another agency. They can hire and fire their own employees», he told the Washington Post.
