USAID foreign service officers stationed abroad have been directed to return to the U.S. by April 6, according to an email sent on March 11, 2025. The directive from the Trump administration instructs remaining USAID staff to shred personnel files and clear out classified safes, actions that have raised concerns regarding potential violations of the Federal Records Act. The email reportedly advises staff to 'Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break.' This instruction has led to allegations of a criminal conspiracy, as destroying U.S. government documents without proper procedures is illegal.
