US District Judge George O’Toole announced at a brief hearing Thursday that he would block the administration from implementing the offer until he holds another conference on Feb. 10 on a longer-term halt. O’Toole, who is in Boston, said that he was barring US officials from carrying out the directive to allow time for “proper consideration” of the issues.
Federal employees will receive formal notice of the judge’s order, a US Justice Department lawyer confirmed during the hearing. The judge didn’t hear arguments on the merits of the legal fight.
More than 50,000 employees, representing about 2% of the workforce, had signed up for the resignation offer ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline, according to a person familiar with the situation who wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss it. In the coming days, agencies will continue to process resignation notices submitted by workers eligible for the program, the person said.
