Summary
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is working to reconnect with over 130 former employees following a federal court ruling that their layoffs were illegal. U.S. District Judge James Bredar ordered their reinstatement after layoffs in February as part of a broader workforce reduction by the Trump administration. CISA is facing challenges in verifying the contact details of those affected and has prompted eligible employees to submit their information securely. The agency will place reinstated workers on administrative leave with full pay and benefits during this process, emphasizing the ongoing complexities of managing its workforce amid cybersecurity demands.
