The U.S. Institute of Peace held the line against DOGE despite reportedly receiving threats from the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE forcibly took over the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) after staff resisted Trump’s executive order to gut the independent agency.

Capitol police removed employees following a standoff, despite legal arguments that Trump cannot unilaterally fire board members.

The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s office pressured USIP to comply, threatening a criminal investigation.

The White House insists the takeover was lawful, but critics call it an illegal power grab. The move mirrors a similar DOGE-led standoff at the U.S. African Development Foundation.

      If we’re getting a dictator either way, we could at least take some of them out along the way.
