A federal judge Wednesday denied a request from an independent nonprofit created by Congress to promote peace efforts around the world to stop an aggressive takeover by billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) board members, including former U.S. ambassador to Russia John Sullivan, asked the judge in a lawsuit filed Tuesday to stop DOGE from “completing the unlawful dismantling of the Institute and irreparably impairing Plaintiffs’ ability to perform their vital peace promotion and conflict resolution work as tasked by Congress.”
District Judge Beryl Howell said she denied the requested retraining order because of the USIP’s complex position within the government and because the board members may not suffer irreparable harm without the order.
Though she denied the order, Howell said she found DOGE’s aggressive behavior against USIP officials concerning.
Several Department of Justice officials, FBI agents and other law enforcement officials had accosted USIP officials and its contractors while DOGE was attempting to gain access to USIP’s headquarters.
“This conduct of using law enforcement, threatening criminal investigations, using armed law enforcement from three different agencies,” Howell said. “Why? Why those ways here? Just because DOGE is in a rush?”
Howell told the government’s defense that she was personally offended by DOGE’s behavior. “I have to say, I’m offended on behalf of the American citizens who have done so much service to this country to be treated so abominably,” the judge said.
What I’m getting here is that DOGE is being unethical but USIP don’t have a valid case?
The Judge calls out DOGE for their aggression but doesn’t act on it?
Some other sites mention another hearing will occur down the road but this is absurd…
