Three men wearing “Department of Government Efficiency” shirts and “Make America Great Again” hats stormed into San Francisco City Hall, California around noon on Friday.
Their mission? To demand digital records related to what they claimed was “wasteful government spending and rampant fraud.”
City employees, adhering to protocol, denied these unauthorized requests and promptly alerted the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department.
By the time deputies arrived, the individuals had vacated the premises.
“We do not believe they were DOGE representatives,” said Tara Moriarty, the sheriff’s Director of Communications, per LA Times.
“As soon as the sheriffs were called, they walked out of the building. They knew that their jig was up.”
The sheriff’s department stated that it is reviewing surveillance footage as part of its ongoing investigation.
Read the statement by the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office:
Around 12pm today, three men dressed in DOGE shirts and MAGA hats entered various offices at San Francisco City Hall, demanding that employees turn over digital information related to alleged wasteful government spending and fraud.
The employees refused their requests, and called San Francisco sheriff’s deputies.
Deputies immediately responded but the individuals had fled the building.
The incident is currently under investigation; SFSO is reviewing surveillance and using other investigative tools to pursue leads.
We do not believe the individuals requesting access to City files were representatives from DOGE.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established by President Donald Trump and led by entrepreneur Elon Musk, is a bold initiative aimed at overhauling the federal government’s operations.
This endeavor seeks to identify and eliminate wasteful spending, reduce bureaucratic red tape, and streamline federal agencies to better serve the American taxpayer.
DOGE is currently involved in several legal challenges brought by state government bureaucrats and federal employee unions.
