Elon Musk’s DOGE sued after using U.S. Marshals to take over agency
The U.S. African Development Foundation is doing everything it can to stop the illegal takeover of its agency.
Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE used U.S. Marshals to take control of the U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) after being denied entry the previous day.
USADF’s chair, Ward Brehm, instructed staff to block DOGE and Peter Marocco, a Trump ally, citing legal requirements.
Trump’s executive order seeks to dismantle USADF, but Brehm sued DOGE and Marocco, arguing the move is illegal.
The agency, which funds African grassroots initiatives, is fighting the takeover as Congress questions the administration’s authority to unilaterally dissolve it.

How is this even possible? Does Musk just gets to do whatever he want without any questions? Why don't the us. Marshals just deny such insane requests?

The Nazis didn't grab power by force, it was lawfully given to them. That's pretty much the same thing happening here. He's asking nicely and they're saying yes.

I’m betting someone, somewhere in the US marshals was champing at the bit. And they’ll probably get a promotion out of it, if I’m honest.

He knows what's coming for him...

Add the US Marshals to the ever growing list of traitors.

Yeah.... I think some Marshalls are probably going to get fired by some angry judges. The Marshalls are the enforcement arm of the federal courts, they really do not have the jurisdiction to do much without court orders.
Wouldn't be surprised if these weren't actual Marshalls, but are part of the private security team that musk had deputized.

This should have been happening at every office they went to
