Case Summary

This case challenged the Trump administration’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under Executive Order 14169, titled “Pause and Review of Foreign Assistance.” On February 6, 2025, the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) and American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against President Trump, the Departments of State and Treasury, USAID, and officials including Secretary of State…

The case was assigned to Judge Carl J. Nichols.

Plaintiffs alleged that EO 14169 and its implementation unlawfully suspended all non-humanitarian foreign aid and initiated the de facto elimination of USAID. They challenged mass administrative leave orders, cancellation of programs, and plans to absorb USAID into the State Department. Plaintiffs claimed these actions violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Take Care Clause, and the Constitution’s separation of powers. They also alleged ultra vires action and statutory violations of the Foreign Assistance Act, USAID enabling statutes, and annual appropriations laws. Plaintiffs emphasized severe consequences, including loss of employment, disruption of life-saving international aid, and public health harms.

On February 7, plaintiffs moved for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction. 766 F.Supp.3d 25. On February 10, the court granted a limited TRO ordering the reinstatement of overseas USAID personnel placed on administrative leave. The court denied broader TRO relief and later denied a preliminary injunction on February 21, holding that plaintiffs had not shown irreparable harm and that many employment-based claims were subject to exclusive remedial procedures under the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) or the Foreign Service Act (FSA). 768 F.Supp.3d 6.

The Personal Services Contractor Association (PSCA), representing USAID contractors, filed a separate lawsuit that was consolidated with the AFSA-AFGE case. PSCA filed its own motion for preliminary injunction, which the court denied on March 6, 2025, concluding that its contract-related claims were governed by the Contract Disputes Act (CDA), which precludes district court jurisdiction.

On March 10, AFSA and AFGE moved for summary judgment. The government cross-moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction or, in the alternative, for summary judgment. Plaintiffs alleged that the administration had exceeded its statutory authority and unlawfully attempted to dissolve a legislatively established agency.

On March 12, plaintiffs filed an emergency TRO motion alleging USAID had begun improper destruction of agency records in violation of the Federal Records Act. The court granted the motion the same day, ordering the agency to halt all record destruction and preserve relevant documents. On March 13, after receiving government assurances that no personnel records had been destroyed and that no further destruction would occur without notice, plaintiffs withdrew the emergency TRO motion.

Over the next several months, the parties submitted supplemental briefing and evidence on the constitutional, statutory, and administrative claims. On April 25, the Constitutional Accountability Center filed an amicus brief supporting plaintiffs.

On July 25, the court granted the government’s motion to dismiss and denied all pending motions. The court held that it lacked jurisdiction over the employment-related claims under the CSRA and FSA, and that PSCA’s claims were precluded by the CDA. It also ruled that Oxfam lacked standing because it had not received funding from USAID and failed to allege redressable injury. The court concluded that the separation-of-powers and APA claims were inseparable from the underlying employment and contractual contexts and therefore not independently justiciable.

The court dismissed the consolidated case in full and closed the docket.

However, on August 5, 2025, the plaintiffs appealed to the D.C. Circuit Court. The case is still ongoing in at the appellate level.
