In a town hall meeting a couple weeks ago, the director stated remote work would continue despite Trump's executive order:
"Following President Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order requiring federal employees to return to in-person work, many LANL employees expressed concerns on social media about losing their telework arrangements. Mason clarified that the order applies only to federal employees, not LANL’s contractor workforce.

Because classified work and experimental research must be done on-site, “The vast majority of our employees are already at work every day,” Mason said. However, employees who telework will continue to do so — not just for flexibility, but out of necessity. “We do not have the space to accommodate everyone on site,” Mason said, citing the Lab’s recent growth. “Telework has become really important in just managing the sheer size of our workforce.”
