A federal judge has ruled in favor of President Trump's plan to reduce the federal workforce through a deferred resignation program, paving the way for the administration to incentivize employees to leave their positions. The ruling comes after a legal challenge from federal labor unions who argued that the program was illegal.

U.S. District Judge George O'Toole Jr.
ruled that the coalition of federal labor unions which initially prevented the buyout lacked the legal authority to contest the deferred resignation initiative. Trump envisions the deferred resignation program as a strategic incentive for government employees to voluntarily depart. The Department of Government Efficiency, spearheaded by Elon Musk, has been the driving force behind this downsizing effort as the Trump administration seeks to curtail federal expenditures. O'Toole was initially petitioned to temporarily suspend the plan to avert further employee enrollment in the deferred resignation program. Labor unions argued that the plan's implementation was unlawful.
