  • The sweeping order covers 18 departments and agencies, including the USAID and CFPB, orders reinstatement by next Monday at 1 p.m. ET.

A federal judge has temporarily reinstated the requirement for federal workers to return to the office for at least two days a week, reversing a previous decision that allowed agencies to set their own telework policies. This ruling, made by Judge Richard J. Leon, comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the New Civil Liberties Alliance on behalf of several federal employees who argued that the lack of in-person work was detrimental to their careers and the functioning of government. The order mandates that agencies revert to the policy set by the Trump administration, which requires a minimum of two days in-office work per week, until a final decision is made in the case. This decision has sparked a debate over the benefits and drawbacks of remote work, with implications for federal workforce management and policy.
