I’d say get them arrested for trespassing except that most law enforcement leans maga.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Is that true or perception
First good headline from the government in a while.
I dont know why the other agencies just backed down. Force them to detain you, then we will see how serious they are and it makes for better headlines.
Part of it was the shock. Many career government employees are used to administrative shake ups. They probably thought this was normal.
As news and the effects of DOGE have been published, we are now seeing resistance at the front line.
We need to encourage more of this behavior.
Agency employees look like the general public. A third or so are gonna be maga and rooting for this even until they’re fired. Another is just disengaged and think “both sides bad” and this is going to be like business as usual.
Right?!? I’ve been absolutely fucking ASTOUNDED at how so many other agencies have folded like a wet paper napkin - very particularly, the alphabet agencies. That was a corner of our government that I was SURE would at least attempt to parry some of this fascistic bullshit. Glad at least someone found their balls, whatever agency it is.
One of the things humans do best is self preservation. When the consequences are things like losing your pension or maybe even jail time 99% of people aren't going to risk it.
At our core we're extremely self-centered animals, which is how things like capitalism and fascism can exist.
I mean, look at us. We're sitting here bitching on the internet instead of actually taking action. It would only take a handful of people to remedy this situation, but you'd have to find enough people willing to sacrifice literally everything.
I'm not shaming anyone for it, because I'm one of those who isn't going to take action to remedy the situation.
Keep holding the line.
