The Trump administration argued extending the deadline would exacerbate the harms the plaintiffs alleged.
BOSTON—A federal judge in Massachusetts on Feb. 10 has extended a block he placed on President Donald Trump’s federal worker buyout program until he reaches a more permanent decision.
Judge George O’Toole’s decision came after he extended last week the original Feb. 6 deadline for the program to Feb. 10.
During the hearing, the Trump administration argued that the plaintiffs, which include the AFL-CIO, lacked standing and were requesting relief that would exacerbate the alleged harms they were claiming the program created.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
