How the Trump Administration Got Slammed in Court Over the USIP Control Transfer

A federal judge on Friday firmly rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to delay the transfer of control of the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) back to its acting president and board.

This ruling means the Trump administration can’t pause the May 19 court decision that declared the firing of the USIP board illegal and void.

U.S. District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell laid down the facts clearly in her seven-page ruling. The government failed to meet the legal requirements for a stay — essentially, they didn’t show a strong case that their appeal would win.

Howell pointed out that USIP is not part of the executive branch. This means President Trump had no authority to fire its board members. Also, the law doesn’t support how those firings happened.

What’s the big deal for regular folks? USIP works quietly but importantly — it promotes peace worldwide, funded partly by donors, and backed by the government.

The sudden takeover in March by the Department of Government Efficiency triggered chaos: the board was fired, the acting president George Moose was ousted, staff left or were dismissed, and even the headquarters was handed to a different federal agency.

This wasn’t just paperwork drama; the institute’s reputation and operations took a hit.

Judge Howell’s ruling isn’t just legal jargon. She emphasized that USIP doesn’t fit neatly into the usual three government branches — legislative, executive, or judicial.

This is a rare acknowledgment that some government entities stand apart. The administration’s claim that USIP must belong to the executive branch because it doesn’t legislate or judge simply doesn’t hold water.

She also dismissed the government’s claim that they would suffer irreparable harm without the stay. Meanwhile, every day the court’s order remains ignored, USIP’s chance to rebuild weakens — staff need rehiring, trust needs rebuilding, and its independent reputation is on the line.

On Wednesday, George Moose returned to the USIP headquarters without incident, along with outside counsel George Foote. The White House has remained silent on the matter.

The Trump administration also asked for a short two-day pause to appeal the decision but Judge Howell denied this, reinforcing the urgency of the control transfer.

Why does this matter? For peace advocates and government watchers, this case highlights limits to presidential power over independent institutions. It also shows the courts can act as a check when those limits are tested. USIP’s struggle is a reminder that peace-building can’t be run like a political chess game.
