The Trump administration plans to significantly reduce staffing for U.S. aid projects, leaving fewer than 300 workers out of thousands, according to officials. Federal workers associations have filed a suit to stop the shutdown, arguing that President Trump lacks the authority to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development. In a separate move, a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's plan to push out federal workers by offering them financial incentives. The judge ordered the administration to extend the deadline for the program. The Trump administration has also sued Chicago, alleging that 'sanctuary' laws in the city hinder federal efforts to enforce immigration laws.
