Move BLM headquarters West again; put LEOs under exclusive law-enforcement chain
Mandate insists BLM HQ belongs in the West (Grand Junction model) and that law enforcement rangers/agents report only through LE chain of command as ordered at end of Trump term then suspended.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 16 (Interior) — Immediate Actions BLM Headquarters / Law Enforcement: relocate BLM headquarters to the West; place all BLM LEOs in an exclusively law enforcement chain of command (implementing IG recommendations suspended under Biden).
Undo plan
1) Evaluate HQ location based on mission effectiveness and employee retention—not solely anti-DC ideology.
2) Ensure LE command structures improve professionalism without insulating LE from land-manager accountability and civil-rights oversight.
3) Restore public access to BLM leadership regardless of geography.
4) Bargain/consult with unions and western stakeholders transparently.
5) Verify: time-to-decision metrics; LE complaint/use-of-force reviews; stakeholder travel burden surveys.
