<p>Odaily News At least dozens of employees were laid off at the Technology Transformation Services Agency on Wednesday, a day after similar layoffs were made at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.<br/> Separately, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration can continue to enforce an extension of a deadline for federal workers to resign.<br/> U.S. District Judge George O&#39;Toole said the unions that sued to block the deadline lacked standing to sue because they were not &quot;directly affected by the directive.&quot; He also said the court had no jurisdiction over the suits.<br/> The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offered federal workers an extension of their resignation deadline, dubbed a &quot;fork in the road,&quot; in an email on Jan. 28, with an initial deadline of Feb. 6.<br/> Until then, workers must decide whether to remain in their jobs, as they are uncertain whether their positions or departments will be eliminated, or accept the Office of Personnel Management&#39;s offer that they would receive full pay and benefits until Sept. 30, 2025, regardless of workload.<br/> O&#39;Toole issued a temporary restraining order on Feb. 6 extending the deadline until at least Monday after a group of unions filed a lawsuit. On Monday, he extended the deadline again until the ruling.<br/> On Wednesday, he ruled to lift the restrictions, leaving the next move to the Department of Government and Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is leading the push to cut federal staff.
