Boebert seeks to codify USDA relocation funding for Colorado State University
What happened
Representative Lauren Boebert is seeking to codify the USDA's plan to relocate employees to Fort Collins and Colorado State University through a fiscal 2027 agricultural appropriations bill. This push is intended to ensure the move is permanent and adequately funded, despite a federal judge ordering the USDA to halt its reorganization and relocation efforts on October 13. The Trump administration has appealed the ruling.
