Three men entered San Francisco’s City Hall on February 14 stating they were officials with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and demanded access to city officials’ computers.

But neither officials with DOGE nor the Trump administration had any involvement in the altercation, which was later determined to be a stunt pulled off by online pranksters impersonating DOGE employees. The San Francisco Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the men were not DOGE officials, and Danny Mullen, a YouTuber with more than 845,000 subscribers on the platform, uploaded a video on February 24, titled, “Fake DOGE Prank in San Francisco (Liberal Meltdown).” The 29-minute video depicts Mullen, fellow influencer Leandro Dottavio, and a cameraman entering and wandering into both the San Francisco City Hall and Unified School District buildings, directing city employees to hand over information and instructing one official to insert Mullen’s thumb drive into her laptop.
