Fox News: Federal judge blocks Trump dismantling of US Institute of Peace
A federal judge has ruled against the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP), declaring the removal of its board members and takeover of its headquarters as "null and void."

The USIP, established in 1984, is a congressionally funded institution aimed at promoting peace. Howell criticized the administration's actions as a gross usurpation of power, while the White House defended its decision to restructure USIP, claiming it was necessary to eliminate ineffective bureaucracies. The administration has 30 days to appeal the ruling.
