The U.S. Institute for Peace (USIP) filed a lawsuit against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Tuesday, accusing it of “literal trespass and takeover” of the congressionally funded organization.
On Tuesday morning, DOGE released a statement on X asserting that USIP’s acting director, George Moose, was removed by USIP’s board of directors and replaced by Kenneth Jackson, who is currently an official in the U.S. Agency for International Development. When the organization attempted to enter the USIP building, an alleged standoff ensued that required police intervention, DOGE added.
