Colorado Newsline, only three of those employees landed in the new headquarters.
The federal agency’s move out West was a controversial one. The Trump Administration said it was meant to get decision-makers closer to the land and resources they oversee.
George Stone is with the Public Lands Foundation and a former B.L.M. employee. He said the reorganization never made sense. A lot of headquarters functions involve budget coordination, national policy, for example, and these are the kinds of things that go on in Washington, D.C. When you try and scatter these functions throughout the West, the coordination collapses. It just does, Stone said.

Many incarcerated women, often already traumatized from gender violence, potentially face re-traumatization once imprisoned in New Mexico through inhumane conditions and sexual assault, according to attorneys.
Lalita Moskowitz, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, said the inhumane conditions run the gamut in New Mexico prisons from infestations of rodents and freezing conditions at Western New Mexico Correctional Facility outside of Grants to infrastructure that is “completely falling apart” and inadequate reproductive health care at Springer Correctional Center in the small northern town of Springer. She said the two New Mexico women’s correctional facilities are “some of the oldest (correctional) buildings in the state.”

Infected rodents carry hantavirus and release it in their droppings, urine or saliva, which can then be transmitted to people breathing in that contaminated air.
State epidemiologist Erika Baldry says the best way to prevent hantavirus infection is to control rodent populations. Seal up holes inside and outside the home to keep rodents out. You want to trap rodents around the home to help reduce the population and you want to clean up any food that s easy to get to.
Spring Cleaning Could Expose You to Hantavirus
A man in Richland County is recovering from a hantavirus infection. The virus is spread by rodents such as mice, and the Montana man was infected while he was out-of-state. However, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) warned people that springtime provides more opportunity for the virus to spread, as people clean their cabins and sheds.
Hantavirus is not common in Montana. However, infections do happen, according to a news release from DPHHS. Since 1993, there have been 45 cases of hantavirus in the state. However, the last reported infection was in 2018. Symptoms start with fatigue, fever and muscle aches, then coughing and shortness of breath. If left untreated, it can lead to death. In fact, of those 45 cases, ten people died. This year, the man in Richland County was hospitalized, but treatment was successful and he s now recovering at home.
