  • Trump sued by USAID workers union after slashing thousands of jobs from government agency: Live - President accuses ICC of 'illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israe

The article discusses a lawsuit filed by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) against former President Donald Trump for his decision to drastically cut jobs at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The lawsuit claims that Trump's actions, which included slashing the USAID workforce by over 2,000 positions, were politically motivated and violated federal law by not following proper procedures for such significant workforce reductions. The union argues that these cuts not only harmed the employees but also undermined the agency's ability to carry out its mission effectively. The case highlights ongoing tensions regarding the politicization of government agencies and the rights of federal employees.
