A federal judge has reinstated a deadline for deferred resignations offered to federal workers by the Trump administration, dismissing attempts by labor unions to block its enforcement. US District Judge George O'Toole stated that the unions lacked the standing to challenge the decision, as they were not directly affected by the directive. The deadline, initially set for February 6, allowed workers to either stay in their positions with uncertainty over their future roles or to accept resignations with promised pay and benefits until September 2025. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for the administration.
