WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Trump administration has been dismantling the U.S. Company for Worldwide Improvement. The headquarters have been closed for weeks, however on Thursday, some staff acquired again to their desks to wash them out.

The Trump administration's freeze of foreign aid has resulted in the loss of at least $69.7 million in aid programs across the Philippines. Pictured is a pharmacy at a community center in Manila, which is operated by LoveYourself. The nonprofit, which has provided free HIV testing and treatment services, suspended key programs such as free PrEP distribution and HIV self-testing kits due to the funding freeze.

Applause broke out within the foyer within the Ronald Reagan Constructing every time USAID officers walked out of the elevators with baggage of images, posters and different knickknacks from their time in public workplace.

Staff who’ve been fired or placed on administrative depart have been instructed to indicate up on the now-shuttered USAID headquarters in Washington at an appointed time and given quarter-hour to filter their desks.

Holes are seen on the building after signage was removed (top) while black plastic covers the logo of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) at its headquarters in Washington, DC, on February 7, 2025. President Donald Trump on February 7 called for USAID to be shuttered, escalating his unprecedented campaign to dismantle the humanitarian agency.

Former USAID directors Samantha Energy and Gayle Smith have been each there to assist their previous colleagues.

“The manner in which this is being done is the exact opposite of USAID’s mission,” Energy stated. “USAID’s mission is about elevating human dignity and this is about trampling it at every turn.”

Energy, who ran the company beneath former President Joe Biden, says the Trump administration has been shifting quick in what she calls the last word “shock and awe” strategy — not giving time to permit the courts and supporters of USAID on Capitol Hill to get their bearings.

“I’ve just seen my former colleagues walk out with their possessions, some of whom have worked here for 30 years,” Energy instructed NPR, “and seeing a lot of tears and a lot of heartache.”

Many of the departing USAID workers did not need to share their names, for worry of retribution. One who got here to the U.S. as a refugee stated she needed to work for the company, to offer again to the U.S.

One other lady, who had labored for the company for 11 years, stated she was fired from the Africa bureau. “I didn’t think I would be ending my career like this,” she stated.

Trump administration officers have branded the company’s workers as criminals and “radical-left Marxists.”

The administration has canceled present USAID contracts following a evaluation of overseas help “to ensure taxpayer dollars were used to make America stronger, safer, and more prosperous,” the State Division says. The administration requested the Supreme Courtroom to weigh in after a federal district courtroom ordered cost to company contractors for work that has already been performed. Late Wednesday, Supreme Courtroom Chief Justice John Roberts quickly blocked the decrease courtroom’s order.

Help teams and advocates have raised alarm that chopping USAID — which supported initiatives in additional than 120 international locations and labored to stop the unfold of illness and get rid of poverty — will result in lack of life, significantly in world humanitarian disaster zones.

Smith, who was a former USAID administrator beneath former President Barack Obama, stated she was watching the varied courtroom circumstances carefully. “We’ll see what the Supreme Court comes back with, whether that’s catch your breath or they’re really going to say it’s all right if the U.S. government doesn’t pay its bills.”

Smith worries that scenes just like the one on Thursday may flip younger folks away from public service.

“From a foreign policy point of view, this is crazy,” Smith stated. “You don’t just cut off your arm and say we’ll figure out later whether or not we need it.”
