  • Employees at the United States Institute of Peace received termination letters Friday evening as the Trump administration continues to reimagine the role of the US abroad and dramatically dismantle key parts of the federal government through the Department of Government Efficiency.

The Trump administration, in its final days, targeted the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) by orchestrating mass firings on a Friday, which is typically when such actions are taken to minimize immediate backlash. This move was part of a broader effort to reshape or dismantle various federal institutions. The firings at USIP, an independent, nonpartisan federal institution established to promote peace and prevent conflict, were unexpected and left the organization in disarray. Employees were informed via email that their services were no longer required, with many positions being eliminated or left vacant. This action was criticized for undermining an institution dedicated to fostering peace and stability worldwide, especially at a time when such efforts are crucial. The firings were seen as part of a last-minute purge by the outgoing administration, affecting morale and the operational capacity of USIP.
