Summary
Over 130 probationary employees terminated from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will be reinstated due to a court order from U.S. District Judge James Bredar. The order, which affects employees from various federal agencies including Agriculture, Commerce, and Education, mandates their reintegration by March 17, although they will initially remain on paid administrative leave. CISA has communicated to those affected that their pay and benefits will resume, and employees have the choice to decline reinstatement if they wish.
