The aggressive actions taken by Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel to access USAID systems without proper authorization raise serious concerns about potential violations of security protocols and overreach of authority. Attempting to forcibly gain access to classified information and personnel records is an alarming abuse of power that undermines democratic principles and the rule of law. Such conduct threatens the integrity of government operations and erodes public trust. It is imperative that a thorough investigation be conducted to uphold accountability and safeguard the proper functioning of these critical agencies serving the national interest. Unchecked overreach by DOGE jeopardizes national security and the constitutionally-mandated system of checks and balances. Firm measures must be taken to prevent further transgressions and ensure adherence to established procedures and civilian oversight.
