Judge blocks Trump officials’ efforts to dismantle US Institute of Peace

Doge illegally took over the congressionally created and funded thinktank through blunt force', rules federal judge

A federal judge on Monday blocked efforts by the Trump administration and its so-called department of government efficiency" (Doge) to dismantle the US Institute of Peace, at least temporarily.

Doge, initially overseen by billionaire Donald Trump supporter Elon Musk, took over the congressionally created and funded thinktank in March and had fired most employees by a late-night email after the US president targeted the institute and three other agencies with an executive order.
