In a significant blow to the Trump administration, a federal judge has issued a temporary injunction blocking a controversial executive order that would have placed over 2,200 USAID workers on paid leave. The ruling comes after a series of legal challenges from employees and labor unions who argued that the order was unconstitutional and undermined workers' rights.

This is not the first time that a judge has blocked a Trump administration policy. Just last week, another judge in New Hampshire issued an injunction against the president's attempt to end birthright citizenship, a move that sparked widespread outrage and legal battles.

The latest ruling is yet another setback for the Trump administration, which has faced mounting scrutiny over its treatment of workers and immigrants. As the 2025 presidential election approaches, the president will be under increased pressure to address these legal challenges and regain the trust of the American people.
