Members of Elon Musk's Doge unit were prevented from entering the US African Development Foundation (USADF) after attempting to proceed with firings as mandated by the Trump administration. The situation escalated when agency staff, supported by a letter from the chair prohibiting meetings without his presence, barred access to the Doge operatives and the acting director Peter Marocco. This incident is part of broader tensions surrounding efforts to reduce the federal workforce, facing numerous legal challenges and pushback from workers trying to maintain agency operations and jobs.
In my absence, I have specifically instructed the staff of USADF to adhere to our rules and procedure of not allowing any meetings of this type without my presence.
Brehm also declined to cooperate with Marocco unless he was officially appointed to the agency's board.
