Tape Over Takeover: USAID's DC Headquarters Has Signage Covered or Removed

With the majority of USAID’s 10,000 member staff being let go, the agency’s Washington, D.C. building is being put to better use. Friday, the agency’s name was removed from its headquarters and signage.

It started with black tape before workers took letters off the building. (WATCH)

🚨 USAID is DONE!

Even the BIG sign is being torn off the office building now.

The building will now be used by Customs and Border Protection. This makes sense given the Trump administration’s major focus on the southern border and fighting illegal immigration.

President Donald Trump is transforming the country for the better at incredible speed. Posters say it's hard to imagine what America will look like in the next few years.

It has only been two weeks. We are truly at the beginning of a golden age.

Incredible for us, but devastating for the Trump haters. They're falling apart.

USAID’s staff has been reduced to roughly 300. The agency now falls under the State Department. It’s unknown where the remaining staff will be housed.
