A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration and DOGE head Elon Musk from implementing their "Fork in the Road" federal employee buyout offer until at least Monday afternoon, AmericanDiary24 reports via ABC News.
U.S. District Judge George O'Toole Jr. set a Monday afternoon hearing to consider blocking the buyout offer further.
"I enjoined the defendants from taking any action to implement the so-called 'Fork Directive' pending the completion of briefing and oral argument on the issues. I believe that's as far as I want to go today," said O'Toole, who described the brief hearing as a “table setting session” just to schedule arguments for Monday afternoon. He did not say anything about the merits of the dispute over the buyout.
Lawyers for the Department of Justice said they would notify every federal employee who is subject to the buyout.
