The dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, by billionaire Elon Musk’s DOGE, or Department of Government Efficiency, likely violated the Constitution, a federal judge ruled, as he indefinitely blocked DOGE from making further cuts to the agency.

KGNU’s Jackie Sedley spoke with Dr. Barry Karlin about his experience working in international aid and about the destruction of USAID at the federal level.
