A federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk and his DOGE team likely violated the Constitution when they effectively shut down USAID. Trump said the administration will appeal the decision.

The judge wrote: "Musk made the decisions to shutdown USAID's headquarters and website even though he lacked the authority to make that decision." What does that mean for the agency's future?

We look at the anticipated impact of of the USAID funding freeze, which helped some of the poorest people around the world. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to weigh in on the matter.

The Trump administration is terminating thousands of foreign assistance grants and awards, according to a court filing. The move effectively guts the six-decade-old agency.

The Trump administration plans to lay off almost all of USAID's staff of nearly 13,000. We look at where it leaves the agency, which administers and provides the majority of U.S. foreign assistance.

After Secretary of State Marco Rubio approved less than 300 essential personnel to continue in jobs past Friday, unions representing USAID workers sue the Trump administration over cuts to the agency.

The Trump administration is putting all USAID employees on administrative leave by the end of this week, according to a new directive sent to all agency staff globally and posted on its website.

In a brief note posted on the international development agency's website, almost all employees were told they would be put on leave. The note ended with the words, "Thank you for your service."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that he's now acting director of the United States Agency for International Development and said it needs to align with an "America first" foreign policy agenda.

The Trump administration's order to stop all foreign aid has immediately affected people with HIV/AIDS. Clinics around the world rely on U.S. funds to provide treatments to those battling the disease.
