Tensions at USIP have been escalating for weeks, starting when the Trump administration fired the agency’s 10 board members on March 14 and USIP staffers denied DOGE representatives access at the front door.

Three days later, DOGE staffers made their way into the building, reportedly using a physical key from a former security contractor. As of this past Friday, most USIP staffers have received termination notices.

Court documents filed today reveal the next phase of DOGE’s plans for USIP: to transfer the institute's assets—including its real estate—to the General Services Administration, which DOGE took over in the first weeks of Trump's second term.

To state this plainly: DOGE forced out the directors and staff of a nonexecutive agency, installed one of its own GSA staffers as president, and that person is now attempting to hand the institute’s $500 million headquarters over to the agency he came from, at zero cost.

I'm surprised how little ICE agents get shot, maced and pummeled. I would think more people would fight back not knowing who and why is attacking them. At least this shows ICE is not detaining criminals. Rounding up some mexican cartels like that would be a bloodbath.

The oligarchs are sucking all the money out of poor Uncle Sam. We need to stop them before he's completely drained. People like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Jeff Bezos are so greedy and narcissistic they care nothing about the US other than as a source of easy money. #oligarchTakedown

End DOGE now! It is an illegitimate organization and should have no power to do any of the firings or takeovers that are causing the chaos and damage to what was our working government. Make this insanity stop NOW.

Funding something does not make it part of the government. This is the property of an independent entity. If this is allowed to stand it sets the precedent for them taking over literally anything the federal government has given money to.

They want to destroy colleges, perhaps this is how they want to set precedent? Research funding, hospitals, state buildings, local and state police and fire departments, historical buildings. Despotic vertical integration.

Please read about ‘Project Russia’ - it's aligned with everything we see Trump and his regime doing. It's the overall master plan.Trump is deliberately destroying the economy. He is doing this for Putin to create a new world order. It's described in 'Project Russia' bit.ly/4jhvi1A

Is this a fucking joke? Those thugs jackbooted themselves into the building that is owned by the non-profit they threatened to within an inch of its life. USIP was founded by Congress but is not Federal in any way. Now they want to take the building? Unconscionable.

When they fall from power, the NEW Federal gov’t should take it all back by eminent domain. It’ll cover ALL ill-gotten gains taken since they were in office.

The blatant abuse of power is staggering in the rich. Common folk better start to care before it's too late. We are in a constitutional crisis. We are past reaching one. 😥✌️
