An infusion of $2.5 million for the Brooklyn Museum included in the city's Fiscal Year 2026 spending plan means that a 10-percent reduction of staff will not go ahead.

The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis plans to reduce its workforce from 1,000 employees to 275, marking a significant staffing cut of around 75%. This decision aligns with the Trump administration's efforts to decrease the federal government's size, viewed as overstaffed and wasteful.

The agency will remain operational and continue to recruit, place, and train volunteers, while supporting their health, safety and security, and effective service.
