"This will no doubt result in preventable death, destabilization, and threats to national security on a massive scale," Nick Enrich wrote in the memo.

Summary

USAID Deputy Administrator Nick Enrich was placed on leave after memos criticized the agency’s leadership for obstructing humanitarian aid, warning the funding halt would cause “preventable death” and national security risks.

His memos detailed refusal to pay for goods and services rendered, shifting guidance, and terminations imposed by the Trump administration and DOGE, led by Elon Musk.

USAID, a key global aid agency, has faced mass layoffs and disruptions, affecting life-saving programs.

Amid backlash, Musk announced the restoration of some funding.
