Hmm ... a non-executive branch institute created by Congress directly. Unless their work product is only used within Congress for the conduct of congressional business, it seems like an unconstitutional intrusion on the executive branch and should be declared so. That kind of shutdown would be complete.
The article says their purpose is foreign policy, which would also be a violation of the Logan Act unless authorized by the President.
Serving all staff with trespass warnings can be the step after that. Its not their building, its federal government property, and if they want to play at being squatters then they can see where that strategy takes them.

This could get interesting.
Turn off the power, water, and internet to the building.

You can sense their desperation.
Can you imagine what would happen if a private company refused access to the IRS. How long would it take for the SWAT team to arrive?
cut all funding to them 100%
Yes. Turn off the spigot!
Non executive branch? Cut thr money off asap and freeze all their accounts. Private? Funny everyone else who takes fed money gets strings attached.
If it is using taxpayer funds, it isn’t independent. Freeze all funds to this agency until DOGE enters.
I am going to suggest the local gun shop tell ATF that when they come to look at the books.
This is absurd.
Can-t the FBI kick in the doors for suspected fraud and to preserve evidence?
