In a court order, the judge said CFPB employees for now cannot be fired without cause, and data housed by the independent agency cannot be deleted.

Summary

A judge blocked mass terminations at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), preventing the Trump administration from dismantling the agency.

The ruling prohibits terminations without cause and data deletion, ensuring the CFPB’s continued operation.

This marks a setback for the Trump administration’s efforts to reshape the federal government, following similar rulings on foreign aid and research funding.
