Interior Department Plans to Cut Nearly 200 Jobs in Colorado
The Interior Department aims to cut almost 200 Colorado-based jobs, according to court filings.
A document submitted as part of a lawsuit to stop the layoffs of government workers during the shutdown reveals the planned cuts.
The Trump Administration had issued layoffs to about 4,000 federal workers in at least seven agencies earlier this month.
A judge issued a temporary restraining order, pausing the so-called reduction in force, after two unions representing federal workers filed suit.
According to a filing by Rachel Borra, the Interior Department's head of human resources, the Bureau of Land Management would lose the most positions in Colorado.
The reduction in force is currently paused.
