CISA, the US government's cybersecurity agency, is reinstating staffers it recently fired, particularly those still in their probationary period, in response to a federal judge's ruling. The judge determined that the firings, instigated by DOGE as part of cost-cutting measures, were illegal, affecting around 25,000 federal workers. While these staffers are being reinstated, they are currently placed on paid administrative leave. CISA has communicated details of the reinstatement to affected employees and clarified that their pay and benefits will resume following this process.
