Judge further pauses 'Fork in the Road' resignation offer to federal employees

A controversial resignation offer for federal employees, known as the "Fork in the Road" directive, is now in the hands of a federal judge, leaving thousands of veterinary professionals employed by the government uncertain about their future.

After a hearing today, U.S. District Judge George O'Toole once again delayed the Trump administration's deferred resignation program "until further order of the Court," prolonging the uncertainty for federal veterinarians working at agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
