  • "Controversial Interior Department Staffing Shake-up: Thousands of Jobs at Risk Amid Illegal and Dangerous Freeze"
    2025/06/01
    Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has been in the spotlight recently over a controversial staffing freeze that the House Natural Resources Committee has labeled as "illegal and dangerous." The committee raised this alarm on June 1, 2025, highlighting growing concerns about Burgum's administrative decisions.

    Burgum, who took office earlier this year after the Biden administration, has initiated significant restructuring at the Interior Department. The department is currently finalizing reduction-in-force (RIF) plans that are expected to impact thousands of employees, including approximately 1,500 staff members at the National Park Service. Interior bureaus have already conducted RIF webinars to inform employees about the layoff process, though specific details about timing and affected positions remain limited.

    A second round of RIFs is anticipated for mid-June, with discussions underway regarding a third deferred resignation offer between these rounds. The department has already frozen all personnel actions, including promotions, reassignments, and even name changes, in preparation for this consolidation.

    In April 2025, Burgum made headlines when he fired several top officials at the department, including Chief Information Officer Darren Ash, Chief Information Security Officer Stan Lowe, Associate Solicitor Tony Irish, and Julie Bednar, the human resources associate director for the Interior Business Center. These terminations reportedly occurred after the officials objected to providing the Department of Government Efficiency access to key federal personnel and payroll systems.

    The firings have led to significant leadership gaps, particularly in the department's technology division. Several other officials in the CIO office who weren't fired have opted to take the latest deferred resignation offer, leaving only two of nine leadership roles permanently filled in that division.

    When Burgum assumed office on January 20, 2025, he found a welcome note from his predecessor, Deb Haaland, who was the first Native American woman to serve as Interior Secretary. In her handwritten message, Haaland expressed her wish that Burgum would "find immense joy in all this Department manages and upholds, our beautiful public lands, our Tribal Nations and the amazing career staff."

    In other departmental news, on May 23, 2025, the Interior Department approved a Utah uranium-vanadium mine in what was described as "a groundbreaking move to bolster domestic critical minerals security."

    The ongoing restructuring and staffing changes at the Interior Department under Secretary Burgum's leadership continue to generate significant attention as employees and lawmakers monitor the impacts of these decisions on the department's operations and mission.
