The US Marshals have been sued by the leftist NGO Democracy Forward for their backing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in a legal tumult that has never been seen before. During a recent dispute with the African Development Foundation, a modest federal organization that has contributed more than $100 million in help to Africa, DOGE was compelled to summon the Marshals.
For background, DOGE has been working nonstop to expose corruption and fraud in federal institutions under the leadership of Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla. To the delight of conservatives, the experts claim that DOGE has saved billions of dollars by terminating unnecessary contracts. Democrats have, predictably, attacked DOGE and attempted to thwart its advancement by unscrupulous lawfare.
This was demonstrated on March 14, 2025, when Democracy Forward announced in a press release that they had sued the Marshals. The statement read, “Today, Democracy Forward filed a suit to compel the United States Marshals Service (USMS) to comply with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and release records of communication between USMS and the judges overseeing cases related to the January 6th insurrection and Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE).”
The NGO continued its flimsy argument by criticizing the federal law enforcement’s participation in DOGE’s protection. The lawsuit comes in response to alarming claims about DOGE’s possibly improper usage of USMS, they continued. In order to ascertain the degree to which DOGE is collaborating with USMS to get entry to federal facilities, substitute private security, and interact with judges over ongoing cases pertaining to January 6th, the lawsuit requests documents.
Democracy Forward’s president and CEO, Skye Perryman, went on an insane tirade about DOGE in the same document. “The courts continue to be a bulwark against the abuses of power by the Trump administration, and the United States Marshals Service is essential to enforcing court orders,” she said.
She said that Elon Musk and DOGE are going too far in their power and that it is still not finished. “The USMS should protect the interests of the American people, not serve as the personal security force in DOGE and Elon Musk’s campaign of government overreach,” she continued.
For further background, the website of Democracy Forward provides insight into the far-left agenda of this Democratic slush fund. It was evident following the 2016 election that there would be unprecedented levels of dangers to democracy, social progress, and the rule of law, according to their website. Therefore, a committed and passionate group of individuals abandoned their cherished coworkers and desired careers to create Democracy Forward.
