Agriculture Secretary Says Agency Is “Full-Bore Ahead” on Forest Service Reorganization
Rollins says USDA will appeal after a judge halted a plan to relocate thousands of employees and close 23 research stations.
- On Thursday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins confirmed the administration is appealing a federal judge's decision blocking the USDA reorganization, stating they remain "full-bore ahead" with the plan.
- District Judge Vince Chhabria blocked the effort on October 13, ruling the agency was illegally "reprogramming" congressional funds intended for other purposes.
- The plan aims to move The Forest Service headquarters to Salt Lake City and shutter 23 research stations, affecting thousands of employees across the country.
- Federal Employees and local officials oppose the plan, arguing it forces staff to relocate or lose their jobs; The Forest Service workforce has already been cut 16% under Trump to 33,000 employees this year.
- The administration contends the reorganization will slim down the federal workforce and increase efficiency, part of a broader push to relocate agency headquarters closer to the lands they oversee.
