A federal judge on Friday issued a limited order shielding 2,200 U.S. Agency for International Development employees from being placed on leave or abruptly relocated but stopped short of blocking the Trump administration’s broader overhaul of the agency.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, an appointee of President Donald Trump, said he would enter a “very limited” restraining order in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Federation of Government Employees and the American Foreign Service Association, which argued that the administration’s actions violated federal law and threatened global humanitarian efforts. Nichols said he will decide later tonight as to whether an additional 500 agency staff already on leave would remain there or be reinstated.
