YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

USAID employees who have been fired or put on administrative leave were told to show up at the now-shuttered headquarters in Washington, D.C., at an appointed time this week and given 15 minutes to clear out their desks.

One former employee told NPR that he tried to take a photo of his late wife's name on the agency's memorial wall but was told "no."

Many of the departing USAID employees didn't want to share their names for fear of retribution.
