"DOGE staffers bring U.S. marshals to small federal agency that denied them access
The show of force by Trump administration officials and federal law enforcement resulted in a frantic and “traumatizing” scene, several officials of the aid agency said, and sparked a lawsuit from its leader.
Employees of the U.S. DOGE Service, the organization overseen by Elon Musk that is tasked with slashing the size of the federal government, successfully gained access to the U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) headquarters in downtown Washington on Thursday, a day after the small aid agency blocked the group from entering.
The DOGE employees returned to the USADF offices around 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, according to several agency officials with firsthand knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to prevent professional retribution.
About an hour later, Pete Marocco — director of the State Department’s Office of Foreign Assistance and acting deputy administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) — arrived with five U.S. marshals and a handful of DOGE employees, according to several USADF staffers outside and video obtained by The Washington Post. Much like the scene Wednesday, the group demanded access to the 10th floor where the foundation’s offices are.
The show of force by Trump administration officials and federal law enforcement resulted in a frantic and “traumatizing” scene, the USADF officials told The Post, and triggered a federal lawsuit filed by the aid organization’s leader against President Donald Trump, Marocco and DOGE officials, claiming they are unauthorized to represent the agency and requesting an immediate intervention by the court."
These losers must have forgot that Trump won again. They can probably just close the whole operation down.
