USAID families have their lives upended by Trump move to shut agency

WASHINGTON, - The Trump administration's abrupt move to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development has upended the lives of thousands of American employees and family members posted overseas, leaving them facing costly and difficult decisions, agency personnel said on Friday.

A U.S. judge on Friday said he would enter a "very limited" temporary order blocking the Trump administration's changes to the agency, but the fate of its staff remained uncertain. The employees affected by Trump's actions include pregnant women whose plans to fly back to the United States to deliver their babies have been disrupted and families who will return home without housing or schooling for their children, they said.
