A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration on Wednesday, after a non -profit organization financed by the government filed a lawsuit that was protected from the “continuous destruction” of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge).
The US Peace Institute. UU. (USIP) submitted a request for a temporary restriction order (Tro) on Tuesday, claiming that Dege had committed “transfer and literal acquisition by force … of the building of the headquarters of the Institute on Constitution Avenue.”
The organization also accused the initiative against “continuous destruction of physical and electronic property of the institute.”
“The defendants have been and are currently involved in a behavior that will cause irreparable damage that will prevent the institute from performing any of its legal functions and it is likely that it destroys it completely,” said the demand.

In a decision on Wednesday, Judge Beryl Howell made a gesture to deny the request of USIP of a tro.
“I think there is confusion in the complaint that bothers me,” Howell said.
“I would say that I am very offended by how Dege has operated in the institute to treat US citizens … but that concern for how this has been reduced is not one that can influence the consideration of factors for tro, which is emergency relief, which is exceptional,” he continued.
Howell, who was appointed main judge of the United States District Court for the Columbia district in 2024, also said he was “particularly concerned about the probability of success of the plaintiffs.”
“Two of the most important tests, which are probably successful in merits and that probably suffer irreparable damage, are just a section here,” Howell added.

USIP, an independent institution funded by Congress, was established in 1984 under the Reagan Administration. Its objective is “[protect] Interests of the United States in helping to prevent violent conflicts and peace agreements from runners abroad, “according to their website.
“Our work helps keep the United States safe, reducing the risk that the United States is attracted to expensive foreign wars that drive terrorism, criminal gangs and migration,” says the agency's website. “We help strengthen the United States by projecting the influence of the United States and reinforcing associated countries in regions destabilized by China and other US adversaries.”
USIP had not infamously complied with the executive order of President Donald Trump to withdraw the “scope of the federal bureaucracy”, refusing to reduce its legal size that appears in the order.
As such, the Trump administration fired 11 of its 14 members of the Board last week, leaving only the Secretary of State Marco RubioSecretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the president of the University of National Defense, Peter Garvin.
Howell's decision occurred shortly after the White House told Fox News Digital that the Trump administration had destroyed USIP of “rebel bureaucrats.”

“Rogue's bureaucrats will not be allowed to retain agencies as hostages,” said White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly, in a statement on Tuesday. “The Trump administration will apply the president's executive authority and ensure that his agencies are responsible to the American people.”
