Nothing in this process implicates your ability to voluntarily resign.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Judge Bredar ordered probationary employees at 18 federal agencies to be reinstated by March 17, either to their jobs or to be placed on administrative leave. <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/court-filings\/state-of-maryland-et-al-v-united-states-of-agriculture-temporary-restraining-order-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The temporary restraining order<\/a> directed the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, General Services Administration, Small Business Administration and U.S. Agency for International Development to rejoin fired federal workers to the payroll.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Monday morning, CISA posted a message <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">on its home page<\/a> noting it is &#8220;making every effort to individually contact all impacted individuals,&#8221; but added that fired employees who believe they fall under the Court&#8217;s order should contact the agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Over 4% of CISA&#8217;s workforce were fired en masse, an event known as the &#8220;Valentine&#8217;s Day Massacre&#8221; by employees. A form-letter email previously informed employees they were &#8220;not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the Agency&#8217;s current needs.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Among those impacted were the nation&#8217;s threat hunters, incident response team members, disabled veterans and employees who&#8217;d already signed onto the federal government&#8217;s <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-deferred-resignation-fork-in-the-road-elon-musk-opm-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">deferred resignation program<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The cuts also <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cybersecurity-agencys-top-recruits-doge-cuts\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">decimated<\/a><\/span> many of the agency&#8217;s top recruits, enlisted through a program known as the Cyber Talent Management System, plus analysts with top-secret security clearances.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear if the agency plans to offer backpay to those previously removed. Complicating their reinstatement, several of the previously fired CISA employees told CBS News they had already been instructed to return their laptops and equipment to the agency. Others said they do not expect to be required to physically return to the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The temporary restraining order is set to expire March 27 at 8 p.m., unless the court acts to extend it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS News has reached out to both CISA and DHS for comment.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
