A federal court ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to take over the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). This decision reinstated removed board members and declared their removal unlawful. The court also voided actions taken by the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE), including the transfer of USIP's headquarters and termination of staff. The ruling clarifies that the president cannot arbitrarily dismantle a congressionally chartered organization, affirming USIP's legitimate congressional foundation and the unlawful nature of DOGE's actions.
The purported removal of members of the Board of Directors of the United States Institute of Peace ... was unlawful. And therefore null, void, and without legal effect.
The president's efforts here to take over an organization ... contrary to statute established by Congress and by act.
