Federal marshals assisted officials from the Department of Government Efficiency in taking control of the U.S. African Development Foundation after a standoff over a leadership change. Employees previously barred entry to administration officials, sparking the intervention. Security measures included changing the locks, while the foundation’s president, Ward Brehm, quickly initiated legal action to block the takeover by Marocco, a State Department official, warning of irreversible damage if the court does not act soon. The foundation, with a $45 million budget, has approximately 55 employees.
The foundation's president, Ward Brehm, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court seeking to prevent Mr. Marocco from usurping control, citing potential irreparable damage.
The takeover was marked by federal marshals escorting officials into the foundation, which has refused the Trump administration's attempts to control its operations.
