USAID Worker Sues Trump Over Pregnant Wife's Denied Medevac

A USAID foreign service officer, referred to as 'Terry Doe,' has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that its 'rushed, haphazard' shutdown of USAID put his pregnant wife and unborn child in grave danger. His wife, 31 weeks pregnant and suffering from life-threatening complications, was twice denied necessary medical evacuation by the State Department due to a lack of funding. The couple, who invested $50,000 in fertility treatments, faced severe emotional and logistical challenges, exacerbated by the agency's dismantling. It was only after a U.S. senator intervened that she received evacuation approval, although delays led to further medical emergencies. The lawsuit highlights the broader impact of the administration's decision to dismantle USAID, which has affected numerous programs and employees overseas. The Trump administration has not yet responded to requests for comment.
