Employees with the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, filed a non-compliance notice to the court that temporarily blocked the Trump administration's cut of the program, which was established and funded by Congress.
A temporary restraining order was granted last week, but government employee unions in the lawsuit said the administration hasn't complied with the ruling.
According to the Monday notice, "the administration is not complying with Judge Nichols'' order to prevent the immediate dismantling of the agency," said Politico legal reporter Kyle Cheney on X. "They say employees he ordered reinstated have not been and other actions cut against his order."

"Plaintiffs American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) and the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) hereby notify this Court of Defendants’ non-compliance with this Court’s Temporary Restraining Order, ECF No. 15, and move for a hearing to show cause as to the basis for noncompliance," the notice says.
"No USAID employees shall be evacuated from their host countries before February 14, 2025, at 11:59 PM," the notice quotes Trump-appointed Judge Carl Nichols in his ruling last week.
Trump reportedly slashed its workforce from 10,000 to fewer than 300.
A ProPublica report Monday suggested that the move may have broken the law with the USAID cuts.
