Employees of the United States Organization for International Development (USAID) will be notified late Tuesday and will be given 15 minutes to collect items from their offices, forgetting that the Trump administration will fight off its agents.
“All staff and their assets will be screened for magnetometers and x-ray panels upon entry. Staff will then be escorted to the workspace where they are allowed to collect personal items and to complete this search. You will be given about 15 minutes to complete the deletion of items within the time slot only,” the message states.
“Staff must bring their own boxes, bags, tape and/or other containers to remove their items. These items will not be provided.”
As many employees disable email, messages are sent to employees via text and are now the only content posted on the USAID website.
The majority of USAID staff are placed on administrative leave and are blocked from accessing the office and other USAID systems.
The Trump administration on Sunday told USAID staff that it would fire 1,600 employees and place all but a small portion of its employees on administrative leave, a group of around 4,200 people.
The same announcement showed that the agency would begin cutting its strength to end the institution's staff.
Before the Trump administration, USAID had a total of around 14,000 employees between full-time government employers and contractors.
These moves came after a federal judge refused to push it by federal government employees to temporarily stop the government from dismantling its government.
USAID's funding block has stagnated agency efforts to counter food, STEM movements and China's influence around the world.
