A federal judge reinstated on Wednesday the Trump administration’s controversial buyout plan for federal workers, handing President Donald Trump and DOGE chief Elon Musk a win in their bid to shrink the government workforce.
U.S. District Judge George O’Toole in Massachusetts dissolved the temporary restraining order that blocked an Office of Personnel Management memo offering employees eight months of pay to quit their jobs.
The American Federation of Government Employees and other federal worker unions filed a lawsuit seeking to freeze the buyouts, but O’Toole said they lacked the legal standing to sue because they were not directly impacted by the plan.
