The Interior Department on Monday revealed it was planning more than 2,000 layoffs that are now paused under a court order, with the scheduled cuts spread throughout its bureaus and offices. The department shared the details of its plans after a federal judge ordered the disclosure as part of her temporary freeze on many reductions in force during the government shutdown. … [The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service] is looking to lay off 143 covered employees, or about 2% of its overall workforce. Its Migratory Birds, Conservation Investment and Fish and Aquatic Conservation offices would see the most significant cuts. … [The Bureau of Reclamation] is planning to shed 30 covered employees. Those cuts are set to occur in the Pacific Northwest, at the Hoover Dam and scattered across other locations.
