US judge keeps his block on Trump federal buyout plan in place for now

A U.S. Federal judge has extended a pause on the deadline for federal workers to accept the Trump administration's buyout offer, which provides seven months of salary for resigning employees.
More than 65,000 federal workers have accepted the buyout offer, representing about 3% of the eligible two million federal employees, according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Labor unions have filed a lawsuit against the buyout program, arguing it is unlawful and could harm the government's operational capabilities, as stated by Skye Perryman, president of Democracy Forward.
The judge temporarily barred the government from seeking additional buyouts while further reviewing the legality of the plan.
