CNN –

Employees of the United States Peace Institute received dismissal letters on Friday evening as the Trump administration continues to reinvent the role of the United States abroad and considerably dismantle key parties of the federal government through the government's Ministry of Efficiency.

Friday evening, a large majority of non -profit staff received dismissal notices, said a source that was dismissed and which asked the anonymity to speak freely without compromising their dismissal package.

Everyone received a personal letter which stressed that he had been dismissed on March 28 and that health care would end on March 31, said the source, noting that the employees would be paid for the work done on Friday, as well as for any remaining vacation time.

The Institute, which was founded during the Reagan administration, promotes research, analysis of policies, education and training on international peace and conflict resolution in order to prevent and resolve violent conflicts, and to promote post-conflict stability, according to a description on USA.GOV. Its official website has been deleted.

President Donald Trump signed a decree in February to target the Peace Institute, an effort, said order, to considerably reduce the size of the federal government, while increasing their responsibility to the American people.

George Fote, who was the lawyer for the American Peace Institute until he was dismissed by Doge, is now involved in disputes aimed at convincing a judge to recognize that the efforts of the United States government and Doges to reject the senior officials of the organization are illegal.

The prosecution was filed before the DC district court after the DOGE staff, accompanied by DC police officers, had access to the USIP building earlier this month after being refused.

Fote told CNN in a telephone interview on Saturday that all the documents in the case will be filed before April 25. From there, the judge can either decide the case or call a hearing, which would be held the week of April 28.

The source said that if the mass shot, reported for the first time by CBS News, was not entirely unexpected, it was disappointing.

It is obviously disappointing and a little contradiction for a president who wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Each olive branch has been extended to the president and its representatives that we wanted to work with this administration as if we worked with seven previous ones, including its own in its first administration, said the source.

Trump himself expressed hope that he will remember him as a peacemaker.

My most proud heritage will be that of a peacemaker and a unifier. This is what I want to be: a peacemaker and a unifier, he said in his inaugural address.

Contrary to the efforts of administrations to reduce government agencies such as the American Agency for International Development, the American Institute of Peace is an independent non -profit organization which receives its $ 55 million in annual funding by the Congress, which means that its staff are not subject to protections granted to federal workers. Between 50 and 75 of its employees worked abroad on Friday, by Foote.

Peace is a continuous process, and there is no way that an investment of $ 55 million a year will bring peace to the world, but they are doing a lot with these $ 55 million, Foote said.

He also has an endowment of almost $ 80 million, he said. We do not know what would happen to this endowment funding, as well as to the headquarters of the institutes in the Washingtons Foggy Bottom district, which is often rented for large -scale festivals and weddings.

Asked to comment, the White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told CNN, taxpayers do not want to spend $ 50 million a year for a state-funded research institute that failed to offer peace. President Trump put an end to the Forever Wars era and established peace in his first mandate, and he realizes his mandate to eliminate bloating and save the dollars from taxpayers.

Foote underlined the work of the institutes advising the National Security Council on political issues and a group of senior military advisers who discuss peacebuilding techniques to prevent wars. He also noted research on conflict minerals in Africa, his fight against Chinese influence on these critical minerals, his studies of human trafficking in Cambodia and his peacebuilding work in Papua-Nouvelle-Guinée, among other efforts.

There are five doves carved in the hall at the headquarters of the USIP, said Fote, each bearing the name of a member of the deceased staff in a conflict area.

Ginny Bouvier is one of them. Ginny was in the Jungles of Colombia, she contracted a disease there. She is in death. We flew at her house, but she died at Georgetown hospital, he said.

Foote continued, this is the kind of work that people of Usip have done. They are not faceless bureaucrats. These are not people who only live on the public dime. These are not bloating or waste. They bring peace to the world and prevent the need for American military intervention and to make the world and the country safe for American soldiers, American societies, American citizens.
