All but a small group of employees of the US Peace Institute. Uu. They received formal termination notices on Friday night, with immediate effect, to people familiar with NBC News.
This ends the use of almost all in the USIP building in Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC, employees who remain active may include senior officials who are expected to help obtain offices abroad, as well as some human resources officials, all of whom are expected to be finished.
The measure occurs only weeks after the American district judge Beryl Howell punished the members of the Government’s efficiency department, led by the technological tycoon Elon Musk, how the USIP building entered with force with agents of the armed law earlier this month.
Howell’s comments occurred when he denied USIP representatives a temporary restriction order against Trump’s administration after several USIP employees sued to prevent Doge from dismantling the group and to restore leaders in the organization that were eliminated and replaced.
In his denial of a tro earlier this month, Howell said that USIP is a “very complicated entity” because it is not a federal agency, but a non -profit organization financed by Congress.
“I am very offended by how Dege has operated in the institute and treated US citizens who were trying to do a job they had the task of doing,” Howell said. “But that concern for how this has been reduced is not one that can influence the factors of a tro.”
The lawsuit also sought to restore the former members of the USIP Board, whom President Donald Trump replaced with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and others before the agency’s acquisition attempt.
Part of the government’s argument against this lawsuit was that the plaintiffs had no position to sue, since they were withdrawn from the Board of USIP and the leadership positions in the organization and replaced.
“The former interim president [of USIP]Mr. George E. Moose, has no authority to [file a lawsuit]. If the elimination of Moose was adequate or not, it is not in question in this lawsuit, since Moose is not a part, and no plaintiff intends to affirm statements based on alleged injuries for him, “the government wrote in his argument against a tro.
