Judge blocks CFPB deparder in the midst of Treasury Union -right case
Trump takes a quick action to dismantle the agency
Vought quickly moved last week to dismantle the CFPB, ordered work to stop, close the head office and cut off his financing. Jonathan McKernan was appointed acting director of the CFPB on Tuesday and the agency has since dismissed more than 100 employees – a first party of around 70 new or probationary employees and a second one greater group hired of employees for a period of two or four years, according to NPR. The total number of employees of the agency is about 1,700.
Federal trade unions are shooting back
Federal trade unions filed the lawsuit on Wednesday and the hearing on Friday means that there is more massive shooting on hold. According to the judge’s consent order, CFPB employees cannot be fired for reasons that are not related to their work performance or behavior. It also prevents the agency from trying to reduce its financing, which from the Federal Reserve system. The lawsuit claims that “although the president is responsible for the enforcement of federal laws,
Congress alone has the power of the wallet to finance or defend agencies
And their activities. “
The CFPB had already been agreed on Wednesday with a provisional order on some efforts to disrupt the financing or to close the Department as part of a lawsuit of the city of Baltimore and the Economic Action Maryland Fund.
CFPB data are an important care
It is important that the newest consent assignment blocks the Trump administration by removing or transferring the data from the CFPB that DOGE employees started accessing until 5 February. Keeping the data from the CFPB “will be deleted soon.”
Meyer wrote: “I am preparing this statement to ensure that the court is aware of the approaching risk that twelve years of critical CFPB records that belong to the public will be irreparably lost and serious and radical damage will be lost Causing unless the court experiences action unless the court experiences action to maintain the status quo in the light of efforts to dismantle the CFPB. ”
