For those who don’t remember, USIP was a *non-governmental* agency that DOGE sought to dismantle during the fascist raids to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. Accountability is mandatory.

Good luck, I hope you get all the body cam footage, and I hope you win your case. DOGE acted unlawfully in several cases, USIP is among the most egregious.
