USIP employees whose salaries were tied to USAID-funded projects faced layoffs. While LaToya was having lunch, she saw the workers preparing to leave the building and hugged them goodbye.

USIP is battling the U.S. Department of Justice in court over the institute’s status as an independent agency. USIP sued in March to block DOGE’s efforts to dismantle the agency.

The USIP is now headed by a 28-year-old, per a federal court filing. DOGE named Nate Cavanaugh, a tech entrepreneur and college dropout, as the USIP's acting president.

The new suit includes several former USIP directors, foreign personnel and one donor, all of whom say DOGE’s takeover of the institute is illegal and threatens the safety of diplomats abroad.

USIP offers services ranging from state constitution advising to legal code development for post-conflict zones. The program provides conflict management training for civilian and military groups.
