In a dramatic twist, a federal judge in Washington, D.C. has hit the pause button on the Trump administration’s plans to send thousands of workers packing and slash the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID) team.

Crews were spotted taking down the USAID sign from its iconic spot on Pennsylvania Avenue, as if trying to erase its presence.
