A judge ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau cannot terminate employees without cause, blocking President Trump’s efforts to dismantle the agency. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit by employee groups, preventing mass firings and data deletion. The White House and CFPB did not comment. The judge also ordered the agency not to reduce funding. CFPB acting director Russell Vought had previously cut off additional funding and issued directives to cease activities. Trump has expressed a desire to eliminate the bureau. The administration has faced legal setbacks but also scored a win with a judge allowing a program incentivizing federal employees to resign. The ruling is the latest blow to Trump’s plans to reshape the federal government.
