USAID security officials ousted for denying Elon Musk’s DOGE staff entry to secure networks


The director of security and deputy director at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) were placed on administrative leave after they tried to prevent employees from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing secure USAID systems. The DOGE team attempted to access personnel files, security systems, and security clearance information beyond their level of clearance. Despite being denied access, the DOGE employees threatened to involve U.S. Marshals and eventually gained access to the systems. Elon Musk, head of DOGE, called for USAID to be dismantled, accusing the agency of criminal activity without evidence. President Trump supported Musk and criticized USAID as being run by “radical lunatics.” Democrats raised concerns about the security breach and access to classified information. Reports suggest that the Trump administration may move USAID under the authority of the State Department, a move that has legal and political implications. The website for USAID went offline, and many employees have been fired or furloughed following a freeze on global assistance by the Trump administration. Staff members have reported feeling unsafe and under surveillance by DOGE. The situation has led to heightened tensions and scrutiny in the State Department and USAID. Democratic lawmakers are seeking urgent answers and are concerned about the potential consequences for national security.
