Lawmakers and law experts have warned of the Trump administration's efforts to close the government's foreign aid institution, and are unconstitutional and are likely to face issues in court.
On the weekend, the so -called government efficiency bureau (DOGE) agent has entered the US International Development Organization (USAID) facility. The staff began to be closed on Sundays and was told not to come to the Ronal Drain Gamville headquarters on Monday.
Elon Musk, Tesla and SPACEX CEO, said that his team had “Wood Chipper” on the weekend with DOGE. He has led to USAID for many days on Social Media Platform X, imposed a corruption accusation to independent institutions that have provided humanitarian and development assistance to countries around the world for over 60 years.
“There is no fourth government called Eron Musk. That will be really clear,” said Representative Jamie Ruskin (D-MD.) At a press conference with other Democratic members outside the USAID headquarters. I mentioned. The unconstitutional interference of parliament's power threatens the life of the world. ”
At an event held in X in the early morning of Monday, the mask stated that USAID was “beyond repair” and “worm ball” and agreed that the president would close it. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that he had inherited the USAID agent in speculation that Trump was stripped to integrate the stripped institution to the Ministry of State.
However, Trump may be able to change the margin, but as the entire federal government does not allow the diversity, fairness and inclusive (DEI) initiatives, lawmakers and law experts are the president. He claims that his agents cannot be abolished unilaterally. With the agency.
“Musk, and maybe the parliament needs to recognize that this is not the same as another business acquisition. The USAID is an independent institution, so only parliamentary actions can be abolished. James Desimone, a V. James Desimone Law and civil rights lawyer, stated:
Critics have stated that President Trump has been abolished by Presidential order since President John F. Kennedy used the Presidential Order in 1961 to create a USAID. But that's not a complete story.
Congress later passed the law Foreign reform and reorganization method in 1998USAID is a culture as an independent organization.
Desimone also stated that career public employees are not the same as political appointments serving with the joy of the president. You may be asked to resign or reject。
“They have the right and legal protection designed to prevent such illegal political retaliation,” said Desimone. Endless long -term vacation is the same as an illegal end, even if the parliament acts. “
Even a personal service contractor who is hired by USAID but does not enjoy the legal protection of employment is incorporated into the contract. One USAID employee told Hill that the contract needs a 15 -day notice and a reason for terminating the contract.
Trump overlooked the debate on Monday that only Congress could dismantle USAID.
“I don't think so, it's not about fraud. If you have a scam. These people are crazy people, and in terms of fraud, you won't have parliamentary actions, and I I'm not sure if you will do it anyway, “said Trump.
The USAID is not a perfect organization, but experts told Hill that the attacks that Musk and Trump imposed on the institution were incorrect.
“What I say is that the US's help system is not perfect. I think it claims that it is actually very rotten, the United States. There are many evidence that point to the very low rot rate in the support of, but there is no doubt that it can be done more efficiently. “For global development.
Justin Sandefour and Rachelbonifield, the other two global development fellows, reveal one of the claims that only 10 % of the USAID money has reached the intended beneficiaries. did.
“This is a very misleading interpretation of 10 % of USAID payments directly to organizations in developing countries. The remaining 90 % are USAID, American companies, and religion. Fellows include all the products and services provided in the actual product, from HIV drugs to emergency food assistance, malaria bednet, and acute nutritional treatment. ” analysis。
“And it is very important to reveal this incorrect claim because this wrong claim is used as part of the excuse to dissolve the entire USAID (illegally).”
