DOGE attempts to evict barricaded workers who hold standoff with law enforcement

White House Responds to Fired President of Institute of Peace ‘Barricading’ Himself in Building as DOGE Attempts to Gain Entry
Press Sec Karoline Leavitt holds press conference and is asked by Daily Wire’s Mary Olohan:
“So on the United States Institute of Peace, this is a little bit wild. I understand the old president refused to leave after he was removed from his position, he barricaded himself in his offices, had to be escorted out by police, left the building without WiFi, telephones, elevators, and more, and is now telling media that DOGE broke in and illegally removed him. So can you comment on this sequence of events and specify did DOGE illegally enter?”
.
Press Sec Karoline Leavitt:
“I 'm really glad you brought this up, Mary. We were made aware of this story by individuals at DOGE, at Elon Musk's team and also at the State Department, who were unable to access this building and it became very clear that there was a concerted effort amongst the rogue bureaucrats at the United States Institute of Peace to actually physically barricade themselves essentially inside of the building to prevent political appointees of this administration who work at the direction of the President of the United States to get into the building.
.
There was a piece in the Daily Caller — thank you for sharing the truth on this about what happened. Staff contacted the MPD in an attempt to prevent DOGE personnel from entering. They barricaded the doors.
They also — disabled telephone lines, internet connections, and other IT infrastructure within the building.
They distributed flyers internally encouraging each other to basically — prevent these individuals from accessing the building.
.
I use this to say this is what DOGE and this administration is facing.
It's a resistance from bureaucrats who don't want to see change in this city. President Trump was elected on an overwhelming mandate to seek change and implement change, and this is unacceptable behavior.”
