Members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) received a police escort into the headquarters of the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) and evicted several of its officials on Monday.
Newsweek has contacted DOGE, USIP and the Metropolitan Police Department for comment via email.
The agency was targeted by President Donald Trump’s federal cost-cutting measures in a February 19 executive order, resulting in its president and CEO George Moose being fired on Friday. Moose and the USIP are objecting to the moves, stating the institute is not part of the executive branch.
The USIP, founded by Congress in 1984, is an independent organization dedicated to “protecting U.S. interests by helping to prevent violent conflicts and broker peace deals abroad.”
After Trump announced the USIP would be gutted to the “minimum” staff levels required by law, the White House informed the agency that all but three of its board members had been fired.
The remaining board members—Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Peter A. Garvin, the president of the National Defense University—then replaced Moose as acting president with State Department official Kenneth Jackson.
