A federal judge in Massachusetts has delayed the deadline for U.S. government employees to accept President Donald Trump’s controversial ‘buyout’ offer, pushing it to Monday.
Originally, two million federal workers had until midnight to opt in.
So far, 40,000 employees—roughly 2% of the workforce—have accepted the deal as Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continue efforts to downsize the federal bureaucracy.
The judge’s decision follows a lawsuit from unions representing 800,000 federal workers and other advocacy groups challenging the plan. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) had sent buyout offers to millions of employees as part of Trump’s sweeping workforce overhaul.
Meanwhile, Trump’s pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel, is facing delays as Senate Democrats block his nomination. With legal battles mounting, Trump’s efforts to reshape the federal government are facing significant resistance.
