The Trump administration has exempted federal employees married to military and Foreign Service members from its in-person work mandate, responding to pressure from lawmakers and military families. This decision acknowledges the unique challenges these families face with frequent relocations. Military spouses have expressed that remote work options have been crucial for their career growth. Bipartisan legislators have introduced legislation to ensure this exemption remains in place, demonstrating the administration's attempt to balance its campaign promises with the needs of military families.
"I have a hard time understanding how this administration is pro-America, pro-military, yet is threatening the livelihood of the military family and the morale for that matter."
"The administration's pivot on an issue of importance to the armed services community, which Trump considers a pillar of his base, marked a compromise for the president."
