USAID workers, impacted by job cuts under the Trump administration, make emotional final visits to their offices. The agency faces significant reductions as part of broader federal government restructuring efforts led by Elon Musk.
Workers at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), dismissed or placed on leave as part of the Trump administration’s restructuring efforts, began their final visits to the Washington headquarters on Thursday. They were given just 15 minutes to clear their offices, escorted by federal officers.
The emotional atmosphere saw some staff leaving with personal belongings, while supporters outside cheered and offered encouragement. One woman, visibly moved, was embraced by those who had gathered in solidarity.
