The Trump administration has announced plans to introduce a government-wide nondisclosure agreement (NDA) aimed at federal employees to mitigate leaks regarding sensitive operations, such as immigration enforcement and military actions. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) argues that recent disclosures have jeopardized the safety of federal agents and military personnel. While the proposal claims it does not impose new restrictions on employee speech, critics, including Ray Limon, a former federal attorney, contend that the NDA's broad language could suppress whistleblower protections under the Whistleblower Protection Act. The NDA would cover various sensitive information, including internal operations and personnel matters, and agencies would have the discretion to implement it. The administration is also seeking public feedback on potential penalties for employees who refuse to sign the NDA, which could include termination from federal employment. This move represents a significant shift, as NDAs have been limited in their application across the federal workforce.
