Judge Blocks Trump's Buyout Offer for Federal Employees, Hearing Scheduled
A judge has paused the Trump administration's employee buyout program, which saw over 40,000 accept resignations for pay until September 30, 2025.
Overview
U.S. District Judge George O'Toole Jr. has blocked President Trump's 'Fork in the Road' offer to federal employees, allowing time for unions to challenge its legality. Over 40,000 employees reportedly accepted the deal before the temporary restraining order, which extends the deadline past the original February 6 cutoff. While the White House anticipates more resignations, the American Federation of Government Employees argues that the offer is misleading and could destabilize federal operations. The hearing scheduled for Monday will address these legal concerns and the implications for both employees and governmental functionality.
