US Institute of Peace Employees Mass-Fired in Late-Night Email Scandal
Late Friday, approximately 300 employees of the US Institute of Peace were terminated via email, following President Trump’s executive order to close the organization. The firings, overseen by Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency,” were executed after a legal battle resulting in a judge’s rebuke of Doge representatives’ actions but not the reinstatement of the institute’s leadership. Employees were given until April 7th to vacate their offices, and are now exploring individual legal recourse. The White House cited the institute’s alleged failure to deliver on its mission as justification for its closure.
