Elon Musk’s cost reduction in cost reduction, the Government Ministry of Efficiency, has installed a 28 -year -old man as acting president from the American Institute of Peace, according to a federal judicial file on Monday.
USIP lawyers have written in the file that the White House office “dismissed all or almost all the staff of the Institute employed in his seat building” to date.
The file said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a resolution to appoint Nate Cavanaugh, 28, as an acting president of the USIP at the end of March. Rubio and Hegseth are both members of the USIP board of directors.
Cavanaugh, a technological entrepreneur and dropout from the college, replaces Kenneth Jackson, a former Doge of the State Department installed as an interim president just a few weeks ago.
The resolution also orders Cavanaugh to transfer the assets and property of the USIP to the General Services Administration, according to the file.
“If the accused Cavanaugh performs the transfer of assets of the Institute, as indicated in the resolution, this transfer will present a serious risk of seriously deficiency of the court of this court to remedy the illegal seizure of the accused of control over the court,” said USIP lawyers in the file, calling for court to suspend transfers.
Lawyers representing the USIP and Cavanaugh did not respond to requests for comments from Business Insider.
USIP against DOGE
The USIP was founded in 1984. The independent thinking group aims to prevent and resolve violent conflicts thanks to its research, analysis and training programs, as described in an index accessible to the public of government organizations.
But USIP, like other organizations, was under the control of Doge. It was after President Donald Trump signed a decree in February, ordering that measures were taken to “considerably reduce the size of the federal government”.
The USIP was one of the agencies listed in the order of Trump which would have its operations and the staff reduced “to the minimum presence and function required by law”.
On March 17, the president of the Institute, George Moose, denied access to Doge when they tried to enter the building again.
Jackson, who was present with Doge’s staff, entered the building after the police arrived.
“The only illegal person was Mr. Moose, who refused to comply, and even tried to dismiss the private safety team of Usip when the said security team has access to Mr. Jackson,” Doge wrote in an X Post on March 17.
Since taking office in January, Trump administration has quickly moved to lead to federal expenses. Musk and Doge have dismissed thousands of federal workers and closed foreign aid programs, arousing fear and chaos through government.
Trump declared during a meeting of the cabinet on March 24 that his administration would be “almost satisfied” from the Doge cups in the next two or three months.
Trump added that he only wanted to keep federal workers who “work hard and wanted to be members of the administration and our country”.
“We want to keep the right ones, and we want to get rid of those who do not exist, and we want to get rid of those who exist but do not work, and we have a lot,” said Trump.
Musk, Doge, Cavanaugh, the State Department and the Ministry of Defense did not respond to requests for BI comments.
